Well, to be honest about it... I'm not sure :-)
Since either a padding or a border on .content will make IE behave, I
would have guessed it had something to do with IE's somewhat strange
handling of 'collapsing margins'.
The negative margin is inserted as an adjustment for the padding.
'position: relative' is needed since IE got the stacking wrong when the
other styles was put in place - hiding the main text.
Someone have surely documented this multi-bug case somewhere, but I
can't remember having seen such a documentation.
