Your use of an XML prolog (which might[1] be forbidden in documents
served as text/html, which you need to do to get IE to cope with XHTML)
triggers Quirks mode in IE.
In Quirks mode, IE gets a number of things about CSS wrong
(intentionally). One of these is that is applies the width property to
elements which are displaying inline (which the CSS 2 spec forbids).
If you need to set a width on an element and have it horizontally next
to another element, then floats are usually the solution.
[1] The spec is very badly written so it is difficult to tell
