I tried various combinations of addChild and insert to no avail.  The 
outermost layer gets positioned incorrectly.  I'll have to try the 
inline feature.  But I'd really like to understand the problem.  I don't 
think it's doing anything that shouldn't be possible with a fully 
dynamic layer.  Maybe it's a usage thing.  But as I'm still learning the 
API, I can't spot it off hand.

Using Firefox, I saw only one instance of the DIV.  I'm wondering 
perhaps if adding the child and inserting it messes with the box model 
stuff.  I seemed to get a few pixels difference (from 7-20), which might 
be some CSS border widths of DIV and IMG tags.

Well, yeah.  But without any further input from the user, I can only 
guess by the erroneous behaviour I see in my test code based upon the 
user's initial incomplete example.

Please note that I did create a bug entry for this so that I would not 
forget.
