To evangelism, since our rendering is correct.

The body has only absolutely positioned content.  So its height is 0 (all its
content is out-of-flow, and the height is not set, so it acts like height:auto,
sizes based on the height of the content, which is 0, since the content is all
out-of-flow).

Now the body also has overflow:auto, and all the content is overflowing.  So it
should get scrollbars, but its height is 0 so there is nowhere to put the
scrollbars...

IE and Konqueror both size the body to the size of the viewport instead of
sizing it per CSS2, which is why the site looks ok in those browsers.
