I patched info.wml (wml 1.74):

In the fist part you could add:

     <preserve marginwidth>
     <preserve marginheight>

Inside <body ....> you add:

     <if <get-var marginwidth> " marginwidth=\"<get-var marginwidth>\" \
      leftmargin=\"<get-var marginwidth>\"" "leftmargin=\"8\"">\
     <if <get-var marginheight> " marginheight=\"<get-var marginheight>\" \
      topmargin=\"<get-var marginheight>\ "" " topmargin=\"8\"">\

Near the end you should add, when preserved before.

     <restore marginheight>
     <restore marginwidth>

I have put an 8 pixel default margin for Explorer so that it displays
the same margins as Netscape if not set by the user.

Cheers!
