<div><br></div>Semantically, a parent container around
the_content()/the_excerpt() would be more correct. e.g.
<div><br></div>
<div><div class="post-content"></div>
<div>...the_content()/the_excerpt</div>
<div></div></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>.post-content {</div>
<div> clear:both;</div>
<div>}</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>But again: I don't think we should be making *any* specific markup
recommendations regarding how the guideline is achieved. Simply state that the
markup must ensure that floats introduced via the_content()/the_excerpt() must
be cleared. (IMHO)</div>

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>
