OK, I'm a bit in doubt here, and the specs are not clear (both CSS2 and
CSS2.1).
Consider the following css
div#wrapper { width:600px, border: 1px solid #c00;}
div#floatbox (float;left; width:200px}
p.txt {width:598px; border: 1px solid #dcb}.
#floatbox and p.txt are nested in div#wrapper.
What would you expected to happen ? Does the paragraphs expand out of
div#wrapper, or do they wrap in the div#wrapper ? Mozilla an Opera6 do
the latter, IE 5 Mac does expand the paragraphs out of the boundaries of
the div#wrapper. Which one is wrong ?

Quote the specs: "Since a float is not in the flow, non-positioned block
boxes created before and after the float box flow vertically as if the
float didn't exist." </quote>
