Hi Maya,
I was thinking about:
body { width: 100%; }
div#container { height: auto; margin: .25em auto 3em auto; }
to make things easier for IE to handle (also in the top-margin IE is displaying
strange white things.

Yes, it seems not enough to add a conditional comment for IE with
#content {margin-right: 3px;}
But: Ha! Some good commenting out (first the whole "content": everything
was o.k. in IE; then piece by piece "commenting in"), and I've found the
culprit.
It must be in the lines 438 to 445: commenting out these lines is good
for IE!
And further on: it must be in the blockquote. Indeed, the one starting
with "Alas!" ... ;-)
That's him! But why?
Looking at the page I saw it is italic text. /Italic/? And *IE*? O!
Perhaps ...

And the good news: inserting the fix is working. :-)

I see the 3 <p>'s in line 785, 786 and 787 in the middle of a definition
list, in which the items have to be <dt> or <dd> [1].
But the <p>'s aren't inside a <dt> nor in a <dd>.

This one will be connected to the one before: it is the first line after
the 3 <p>'s which aren't inside the <dl> starting at line 779. So the
validator is assuming the <dd> of line 790 is the first item in a fresh
definition list, and then a <dl> is missing. - If the 3 <p>'s are
repaired, I guess this error will disappear.

Also they are related. Apparently the html-validator can remark the
"missing things" only at the end of the document (and "missing start
tag" = "missing end tag" too!)
Compare html-Tidy, which gives only line 785 as a missing <dd>.
