                  <DIV></DIV>
                  <DIV>I've noticed on several reviews, the recommendation to 
                  add a "clearfix" &lt;div&gt; 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>
