It is not quite accurate to say "the expected 30 pix of top
padding within the outer wrapper".

Your "wrapper" has a top padding of 10px, while the "container"
has a top margin of 20px. But, fair enough, you are meaning that
there is 30px between the inside of the green border at the top
and the outside of the top black border of the first contained
div. And, expected, ditto, at the bottom.

On my Winbox, IE 6 is showing your page exactly as in FF as far
as my eye can tell? The bottom gap between the outside of the
bottom border of the bottom contained rectangle and the top of
the bottom green border of the pink wrapper looks to be the same
as the corresponding at the top.

I do not know about IE 7 though?
