You declare a width: this applies to the content width of the box (in  
this case: a fieldset). But fieldset (default browser style) has also  
padding on both left and right, and a border. Those are not included  
in the specified width.
That is all known as the 'box model'
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html>

A fieldset being a block-level element will automatically expand to  
the full width of the parent box, you don't need to specify a width  
(especially, as you use 100%).
