I think you're right when it comes to default-styles, but that gap would
have been related to line-height set on a text-container. However, FF
(and other good browsers) respect height unconditionally on most
containers, thus are covering up and making it look alright in this case.
IE/win doesn't care about set height and will expand container if
content doesn't fit. Add in some constructed bugs in IE/win, and the
messy part starts:
- IE see whitespace/line break that isn't there - caused by the
line-break in the source-code (which it should ignore), so the gap appear.
These solutions are mentioned by others, and will all work but for
different reasons:
- Get rid of all whitespace and put everything in one line, and the gap
will disappear.
(My HTML Tidy does this automatically - even on downloaded pages, so
this is a bug I rarely see.)
- Set image to 'display: block' (since IE apply default 'display:
inline' regardless of doctype and mode) and the gap will also disappear.
- Set 'overflow: hidden' on container, and IE will "respect" height, and
the gap will disappear if height on container is set right.
- Define 'font-size: 1px; line-height: 0;' on container and the gap will
also disappear since there's no longer any line-height on that
"imaginary whitespace" that IE/win is bugged by.

Think I got it all covered above, but as mentioned: mode isn't all that
important here. IE6 is just as buggy and non-standard in both modes when
it comes to cases like this. That's why I rarely ever refer to 'standard
mode' in IE6...
