(SIGH)

Yet *another* hack to make things work the way they should have in the first
place.  The Tantek Box Model is a hack for the box CSS to be rendered
correctly in these browsers.  But since it's a hack, it's not valid and
proper CSS, so it won't validate....and if the whole point of all this is to
make sure things validate....well, do I need to go any further?
