Actually, IE6 *does* do this when in standards compliance mode. Have you never
heard of the faulty IE box model, hence the need for the "Tantek Box Model
Hack"?

http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html

IE6 renders that example page in standards compliance mode, therefore the
widths are rendered correctly. If you were to either remove the DTD from the
page or add the ?xml prolog, IE6 would go into quirks mode and render the
boxes as wide as the red line.
