Minor but important correction: it was an attempt on a 'description' -
not an 'explanation'. I can't really 'explain' that IE bug - it's one of
the really absurd[2] ones :-)

You got _that_ right ;-)
As a general note:
Shouldn't come as a surprise that bugs related to this, and to other
(more or less) well-known IE6 shortcomings and bugs, may pop up in IE7
too. The reason is that IE7 to a large degree isn't a "fixed"
Trident[1], but instead a "patched up" 'Trident in standard mode'.
All bugs are kept, because IE7 otherwise wouldn't work as expected in
'quirks mode'.
So, IE/win's "addiction to bugs" is permanent, and IE7's "patches" are
not very solid or complete.
