The only "pseudo-workaround" that I know of (and that preserves the wrapping
of longer paragraphs below the floats) was proposed some time ago by Ingo.
It requires the addition of dummy elements in the markup:
Add an empty float, not cleared, before any float+clear (except the first
one.) This is (badly) described in case 4 of my page.
I just tried this on your test page, and it seems to work:
<div class="fixfc"><!-- --></div>
before your second float+clear, with this style:
..fixfc {
float: right; height: 0;
clear: none; border: 0 none; /* these are just to override... */
}
Of course that's bad since requires modifying the markup.
