Actually, the issue Michal is pointing out here is one that still
exists, even in IE. You can see the effect if you open the "Ruby in
Twenty Minutes" page. In either Firefox or IE you can see that the
body of the page (starting "Open up IRB. If you're using Mac OS X...")
is right up next to the blue bar. I mentioned this problem a while
back in an email to James. I'll copy it here:

I've tested that addition in both Firefox and IE and it seems to do as
Michal was suggesting, adding an amount of whitespace between the blue
title bar and the remaining content. You could probably just as easily
use a em or ex based value, but my original suggestion was in pixels
since the rest of the layout is pixel dependent.
