styling list for navigation

What's the current wisdom on styling lists for navigation. What I'd
like is for:

links and background colors to be 100% of the width.
multi-line OK (ie links will wrap). Padding OK. Same width in IE as
other browsers

I'm finding that IE differs from conforming browsers in the way it
calculates width after adding padding (yes, strict doctype.) I have a
feeling that things have moved on fro the old ListAPart article on this.

Also, I thought IE6 had no trouble with margin auto on a fixed
width (with strict), but I'm having trouble with that and have resorted
to the old text-align hack.

You must be triggering quirks mode for that to happen.

It doesn't. You must be triggering quirks mode. Post a URL.

Um, it's not likely they are even aware of issues like accessibility, so
why would you expect them to ask? It's up to you, as the supposed
expert, to inform them of such things.
