Aye. You'll love this - it's caused by the default value for the
non-standard HTML attribute 'hspace' on floated images. Which is not
overridable from CSS in IE/Win. Either include 'hspace="0"' on the
image (in which case you can kiss your validation goodbye), or -

 - put the img inside a CSS floating div instead of floating the
   img itself (divs are unaffected by hspace); give the img
   'display: block' so it doesn't align to text baseline in
   Mozilla; or
 - since the block is already right-aligned anyway, just put the
   image after the text, non-floated, using 'vertical-align: top'
   to get it off the baseline.
