CSS Indent problem in IE

This is similar to http://drupal.org/node/29107 - but happens in cvs and has a slightly different effect. The padding (line 243 of style.css) seems to be causing the first line of the node to be indented when viewed in IE.

.node .taxonomy {
  color: #999;
  font-size: 0.8em;
  padding: 1.5em;
}

The fix suggested in the other bug does not seem to fix it (makes indent smaller) - the only way I've been able to fix it so far is by removing the padding line as I don't use taxonomy on the site - not ideal though. Any ideas anyone?
