That's an interesting idea that I hadn't thought of before. The  
perception might also be related to the little "jump" that occurs when  
sliding an element that has padding or margin. This happens so often  
that I wonder if people assume it's a problem with jQuery itself. You  
can see this occur, for example in the accordion example on the jQuery  
UI ThemeRoller page:
