It's a combination of 'collapsing margins' and lack of 'expand to
contain floats'. IE/win _is_ "saved" by its own bugs on both accounts.

The good browsers need an additional...

#header1, #header, #nav {display: table; width: 100%; clear: both;}

...which will achieve the desired effect in accordance with CSS specs -
by establishing a new 'block formatting context'...

Tricky stuff this :-) , but Opera, Firefox and other good browsers are
actually handling the case correctly both before and after the addition.
It all depends on what we tell them to do for us.
