  <div><br></div>Semantically, a parent container around

              <div>I&#39;ve noticed on several reviews, the recommendation to add a 
              &quot;clearfix&quot; &lt;div&gt; beneath the_content()/the_excerpt(). 
              <div><br></div>
              <div>I&#39;m wondering: should we *really* be making this 
              recommendation? I&#39;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&#39;m just wondering, since we don&#39;t make many other 
              markup-practice recommendations with respect to conformance to the 
              Guidelines. Might it be better simply to state &quot;ensure that floats 
              introduced by the_content()/the_excerpt() are cleared&quot;?</div>
