good point - I discovered there wasn't a doc type - so I put in a doc 
type with "transitional" - this seemed to improve things but not really 
get rid of thinner white space.   Which brings up the point, if using 
with css, jquery, etc - what should doc type be ?  transitional vs 
strict ?  what about with css3 display tables ?

@brandon
I think that is an issue but goes against neat indented coding:
<div id="whatever">
    <p>stuff</p> <!-- spaces instead of tabs -->
</div>

so I'm thinking of experimenting with the new css display tables - more 
like the control of the old tables and gets away from messy floats, 
clears.  And yeah I don't care if IE refuses to support the css standard 
- we'll just tell our customers they have to use Chrome, Firefox, 
Safari, Konqueror, Arora, Epiphany, or Opera - "anything but Microsoft" 
- besides they'll probably get a better, faster, safer browser. 

so anyone been using the new css display tables ?  experiences ?
