Well if I understand your question correctly, you can exploit a bug in
IE6's float behavior to get this type of 'functionality'

Do you want the effect of the green bordered content?

#mainContainer - relative postion but no float
  #workArea - relative, float right
  #rightColumn - relative, float left

If so, float the table, but don't float the containing block, instant
margin over-run.
