This is something which you'll have to bring up with Apple. IE's
current behavior is what Apple's HUI team recommended we do, though we
only implemented part of their suggestions. At times it's better to be
consistent with other apps even if you don't like the behavior.

I may be in the minority, but I do not want the windows I open changing
size
suddenly. I put a window where I want it; if it overlaps the dock, it's
because I want it to. But when IE is deciding where to put the window, I
want it to be smart about it.
In particular, I do not want IE's window to move up out of the way if I
use
the keyboard shortcut to show the dock (as it does now). And I do not
want
IE to obscure part of the window under the dock when I zoom the window
(again, as it does now).
Hopefully that makes sense.
(My other gripe about window handling is more Mac OS X-global... I'd
love a
shortcut key for Bring All To Front. But it would seem we'd need Apple
to
come up with a standard for it.)
