There are other differences between IE and Safari here; are you sure that this is what is causing the problem? Take this test case: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C%21DOCTYPE%20html%3E%3Cstyle%3Ebody%20%7B%20border%3A%20solid%3B%20width%3A%204em%3B%20%7D%3C/style%3E%0D%0A%3Cdiv%3Ea%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%20a%3Cnobr%3Eb%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%20b%3C/div%3Ec%20c%20c%20c%20c%20c%20c%20c%20c%20c%20c%20c Opera, Safari, and IE all render it the same.
