It's really nothing to do with MyFaces, Tomahawk, or even JSF for that
matter.
It's simply a browser thing with IE.
Anyways, the solution is to use the style definition
"white-space:nowrap;" for the inner text.
Adding that to my stylesheet made it transparent and fixes the IE
problem without sacraficing Firefox/Opera operation, although I haven't
checked any of the other browsers...
