On the subject of IE 8 and :first-letter: I was fighting with a little  
bug the other day. IE 8 (at least on Vista and Win 7 rc) incorrectly  
computes the em-based values for margin/padding/border on :first- 
letter. It bases its calculations on the font-size of the parent  
element, not on the font-size of the :first-letter itself.
(if anyone can confirm the same issue on XP, that would be appreciated  
- view the test file in IE and Firefox/safari/chrome.

Test case:
