My first guess was that the - was extra, but removing it did something
horrible to the output. My second guess was that the 0 was extra, and
-18 was intended. In my testing "-18px" gives what appears to be
reasonable alignment. Can anybody else refute that? It renders fine
in Firefox once you change that to -18px.
