This will always be a problem.  Because each of the "box model" issue, 
the padding will sometimes be added to the widt instead of being inside it.

I sort of gave up with % perfect width and just allowed for the extra 
with.  This meant reducing the width of my DIVs to keep them from 
overlapping.

I'm sure that someone out there has a better solution.
