Same behavior with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a4)
Gecko/20040927

-> Layout

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The rendering is correct, since the <center> parent is auto-height and per CSS
spec 100% of auto is auto.

Note that in quirks mode we do what IE does (breaking the CSS spec), but this
page claims to be XHTML 1.0, so we assume it wants to be rendered per the standards.
