Ah. Yes. Well. MacIE does have a known problem with margin and padding
shorthand. I guess I should have checked that first...

The only reliable solution, I fear, is to use:

   margin-top: 0;
   margin-left: 0;
   margin-right: 0;
   margin-bottom: 1em;

Oh, dear. Another CSS feature burnt by poor implementation...
