http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#navbar says this
"To make the navbar fixed to the top of the viewport, add .navbar-fixed-top to the outermost div, .navbar. In your CSS, you will also need to account for the overlap it causes by adding padding-top: 40px; to your `

`."

But all the example pages which have a fixed navbar have padding-top: 60px and padding-bottom: 40px.

Two questions:

a) is the padding-bottom also necessary?
b) if the padding-top 60px or 40px?
