Comment:

 OK so in order to keep the clearfix class separate from other classes and
 at the same time be as clean as possible and preserve back-compat I'd
 propose:
 - for modern browsers, use `.nav-tab-wrapper:not(.wp-clearfix):after`
 - for IE 8, no need to be 100% clean so I'd propose to always establish a
 new block formatting context
 See refreshed patch.

 Open to suggestions and improvements. Can also be refined later. For now,
 I'd propose to commit what we have and move on since this is blocking
 other tickets (see for example #28864).

 Will keep this ticket open for further patches to replace the old clearfix
 and all the br.clear and div.clear. Patches welcome :)
