<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [theme-reviewers] Clearing
Floats</DIV>
<DIV><BR></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>
