As far as I know, the answer is no. It is required and inserted by
CollabNet. Otherwise we would have gone tableless long ago.

This space is actually made for the footer, which has a negative
margin. The extra padding here offsets the margin's height (this is
required so that the footer appears at the bottom of every page, even
if the page's vertical height is lower than the browser's height).

I'm not sure how the design can be made more 'hackable'. In any case,
instructions will come soon, after the refresh goes live. The refresh
will add more id tags in the template, allowing NL projects to use
JavaScript to change 'fixed' content (e.g. the positioner, the link of
the logo image, etc). As far as I know, 'eliminating' the design can
only be done through CSS. It's hardly an elegant solution, but that is
as far as we can push CollabNet :(

Regards,
Ivan.
