My suggestion for getting this slightly more sane.

Step 1: In CSS1Compat mode, make scrollHeight/Width match IE, Gecko and Opera.
They all agree and when in standards mode the body should not be treated
specially.

Step 2: In BackCompat mode make documentElement.offsetHeight =
documentElement.scrollHeight = documentElement.clientHeight =
body.offsetHeight. This is what Gecko and Opera does. IE returns 0 for
clientHeight but otherwise do the same as Gecko and Opera. This also fixes the
issue where we currently see offsetHeight being smaller than clientHeight.

I got step 1 working in my client but wanted to hear other peoples input before
I continue.
