Well, it won't confuse a browser that won't center with margin: auto
(such as IE 7 in quirks mode). And for some reason they're taking the
page out of the normal flow so maybe they had a reason for that? Other
than that, I can suggest that you could also do it as:
#pageWrapper {
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto; }
Which saves a few more bytes of data which means faster download times
for your clients, sure not by much, but each optimization is still an
improvement :)
