Clearing Floats</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I've noticed on several reviews, the recommendation to add a
"clearfix" <div> beneath the_content()/the_excerpt().
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm wondering: should we *really* be making this recommendation?
I've always considered an empty div whose sole purpose for existence
is to ensure that floats are cleared to be a method of last
resort.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm just wondering, since we don't make many other
markup-practice recommendations with respect to conformance to the
Guidelines. Might it be better simply to state "ensure that floats
introduced by the_content()/the_excerpt() are cleared"?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
