It does - on the bottom at least. You can see this if you add a border
to it.

Yes it does, but because <span> is inline, it flows differently to a
block-level element (e.g. <div>), which is presumably what you are
expecting. 2 solutions - add display: block to div#banner span, or put
the padding on div#banner instead. Second option is better, because then
you can get rid of the span from the HTML.

Impossible to say without seeing one of these other pages that exhibit
such behaviour. It could be that the image is in an element that
browsers have default margin/padding on (e.g. <p>, <div>).
