You have not explained what your head {overflow: auto;} is doing.
I was puzzled by this? Anyway, I see no problem with scrollbars
when this is removed in IE 6 (I cannot now test in IE7 I am
afraid).

I removed various height: auto s too, these are defaults.

I worry about your code when you are putting px font sizes and px
heights for footers that can be too small for a user upped font
and other things. It is not always easy to know what is causing
problems until the simple things are all fixed right. You are
more confident than me. I guess you are not in a mood to hear
about other things... like you need some sort of reason to use
xhtml rather than html, have you got one? It is confusing to call
classes and ids after normal elements, it is bad practice to use
px for fonts, it always helps to make a problem a bit realistic
if you are not sure what is causing the problem...
