Thanks. You are right. It's not CSS. Sorry.
The current CSS implementation by most browsers does not play well
regarding vertical centering. As of CSS2.1, we should be able to solve
such problems via inline-block boxes, but
* Moz: -moz-what?
* Opera: display: inline-block and vertical-align: middle broken
http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/tmp/inlineblock.html
* IE/Win: display: inline-block broken, no display: table
http://www.brunildo.org/test/InlineBlockLayout.html
So, as shown in the vertical centering demo I linked to [1],
+ display: table/table-cell (Saf, Op, FX)
+ display: inline-block (MacIE)
+ display: inline/layout (IE/Win)
is used to center a shrink-wrapped box cross-browser.
