This is what should happen under the CSS spec.  IE5 is notorious for doing
it wrong by deducting padding/margin/border from the defined width.  IE6
also does this when rendering in its Quirks mode.

Width is the width for the actual content within the CSS 'box'.  Margin,
padding, and border are added on top of that.
