That could be its strict implementation of CSS standards. A block-level
element with a set width of 10em with 1em padding is 12em. Period. All
padding, margins, etc. are added to the width, not subtracted. IE, however,
subtracts, so 10 em with 1em padding is 10em, with the actual element
reduced to 8em, which is not up to the W3C standard. Most people design for
IE, so text can do weird things when viewed with a standards-compliant browser.
