I am trying to float sidenotes. Here is the example I'm working on.

http://carneades.pomona.edu/rutter.html

(There is a background gif that marks off the desired line-height).

Safari and (Mac) Opera do what I want: they put the sidenote on the  
same baseline as the note's marker in the text.

Firefox and Camino do not do what I want: they push the sidenote down  
one line.

I'm hoping for wise answers to the following questions:

1. Why this is happening?

2. What I can do to make all browsers do what I want?

Thank you!

Here are what I think are the relevant style rules. The whole sheet  
is here:

http://carneades.pomona.edu/css/styles.css

p{
        font-size: 1em;
        line-height: 1.5em;
        margin: 0;
        text-indent: 1em; /* need to hand IE a bottom margin; it doesn't  
know text-indent */
        width: 34em;
}
.sidenote{
        clear: right;
        float: right;
        font-size: 0.8333em;
        line-height: 1.8em;
        margin-right: -19.200768em;
        text-indent: -0.7em;
        width: 16.800672em;
}
