It's useful to test in IE6 from the very beginning, but don't design
for/in it.
Oh, and yes, the 'auto expanding' is at play, along with the 'hasLayout'
bug. IE6 handles all-floats - without margins and with restricted width,
a lot better.

Adding the following after all existing styles...
* html #main,
* html #sidebar-container,
* html #sidebar-alpha,
* html #sidebar-beta {
overflow-x: hidden;
margin: 0;
float: left;
}
* html #sidebar-alpha,
* html #sidebar-beta {
float: right;
}

...will make IE6 (and even some older versions) handle that page quite well.
