I have a two column layout with each column divided into two boxes
(thus a kind of faux table). This is for navigation and each box
contains a definition list, the dl's in the right column being floated
right:

CSS looks like this:
#wrap {
    margin:auto;
    width: 800px;
    }

#rightcol {
        width: 400px;
        float: right;
        }

#leftcol {
        width: 400px;
        }

As you can see, everything is more or less OK except that the bottom
box in the left-hand column is about 13px below the bottom box in the
right-hand column.

While showing this to a colleague, i put a border on the bottom right
hand box for emphasis and... the gap disappeared:

(in FF3, IE8 and Opera)

I'd be really grateful for an explanation - and a solution.
