I've never studied the box model. I feel it's like studying Adam Smith's 
economic theories and then wondering why they never quite seem to work 
right. Like humans in the world, web browsers are neither perfect, nor 
rational.

That said, I'm not seeing the space in either Opera 8.5 or FF, so I'm not 
sure how to analyse the code.

Although I know this would break the layout in other ways, does the 
specific problem continue if you:

- remove the display:inline from #navcontainer ul li
- remove the float: left from float: left;

What's the float:left on the a element for anyways?

Have you tried setting #navcontainer ul AND #navcontainer ul li to float: 
left, and removing display: inline, and removing float:left from the a?

Also, have you played with the CSS List-o-matic:
