Then maybe they should run their CSS thorough a validator to check that they've
done everything correctly.

Mozilla is just ignoring the rule because its not up to the specification which
states that margin-bottom can take the values of "length | percentage | auto"
(According to Eric Meyer's CSS Pocket Reference by O'Reilly 2001) and length is
defined as a numerical value followed immediately by some unit of measure.  So
according to the CSS1 specifications Mozilla is doing the right thing on one could
say that IE isn't.
