1. Since you'll be using a doctype that triggers strict mode, if I  
understood correctly,, the difference you saw between WebKit (Safari)  
and Gecko (Firefox) will disappear, making your little hack  
unnecessary (the difference is due to a different box-model  
interpretation in quirks mode).

2. If you're not using a doctype that triggers strict (standard  
compliant mode), you should. That levels of the differences between  
browsers. And you'll simplify your life.

A refresher on doctypes:

PS-1: Fx 3.1 is not yet ought. A beta is due in October somewhere. The  
behaviour I mentioned won't change, though.

PS-2: bottom-posting, please, when replying to the list. Thank you.
