I think that has to do with the lower-case characters that have sections
protruding below the baseline of the text, like p and g. IE doesn't
extend the containing below the baseline but the box around the text
does, therefore causing the disappearing bottom border. "p" elements
normally have padding below so it doesn't show up under normal
conditions.
I guess your solution of the padding is probably the only one, either
that or don't use any of the offending letters :). Perhaps someone has a
better solution.

I encountered an anomaly I hadn't seen before in
Internet Explorer 6: the bottom border on an
inline element disappears in the last block on
the page. Adding a 1px bottom padding fixes the
problem.
In IE5.5, strangely, there is no problem. In IE5
no problem either, because no border :-)
If you want to check it out (only in Internet Explorer 6):

er-bottom1.html
I tried to find this documented and maybe
explained somewhere but couldn't. Can anyone give
me a pointer?
Thanks,
Ellen
