What I was saying is that there are ways to deal with this without any hack at all. It is a matter of "moving down" the padding declaration. If borders cannot be achieved with images and that *a few pixels* create a problem (because the designer is looking for a pixel-perfect-design-across-the-board), then one can use a conditional comment to "fix" IE5. In any case, there is no need for an extra DIV in the markup or CSS filters in the stylesheet.
