margin-left, inline elements, IE5

I've just been testing some menus which use margin-left applied to
span and anchor elements. In IE6 it's fine. In IE4 margin-left seems
only to apply to block elements. Frankly that doesn't concern me,
given that very few use that browser. But what is the situation with
IE5 and IE5.5?

Apologies for the delay. Is the 'indented' span indented in IE5?

No, it's the same as the other one.

It is indented in Internet Explorer 5.5 & 6.0 though (just 5.0 is
non-indented).
