Hmmm... I thought the double margin float bug was only supposed to rear
its ugly head when the margin setting and the float setting were the same:
for example:
div {float: left; margin-left: 10px;} //triggers double margin float
bug in IE if this element is against the edge of its container
div {float: right; margin-left: 25px;} //does not trigger double
margin float bug because margin is applied to opposite side of element
