It seems to work flawlessly, and its simplicity makes me feel good about
using this approach. It also frees me from having to stick hacks in to
try and please the browsers.

As a reminder, at this point you cannot safely apply widths to any
elements that have a border, padding or a margin. In the case you
need
to apply width adn one of the others mentioned, safest best is to
insert
a nested div/span with the padding applied etc to break it up.
This has long since been a point of confusion for many people, and
this
simple remedy (although in the long term not the best) proves most
effective with todays browsers.
