Should still conform to line-height

Because the first ul isn't indented and it allows you to create an extra  
indent for a third level if needed without messing with child indicators  
that IE doesn't understand.

I try to avoid absolute positioning when possible, just because it takes  
things out of the flow. if I have to use it I ensure it's well-wrapped,  
but even then there can be some glitches where the positioning relates to  
the first parent that specifies a position rather than its container.

Well I know they separated out online and offline content between two  
windows, perhaps its related to that?
