2Another means around this, when setting anchor tags within list items to display:block, is to set the list items to display:inline (and you may also need position:relative on the unordered list's parent element).

1I found out an interesting thing: if you specify line-height with times fonts, the gap comes with it! Also, if you define line-height: 110% in #navbar when using sans-serif at #navbar ul, the gap disappears, but with 100% the gap appears. So it seems to be a bug in IE's ability to handle line-height, because when I drop line-height below 100%, the gap just becomes bigger and bigger. Actually, this makes me think this is the all-old IE bug where elements can't be smaller than the size of the font.
