This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.
Your e-mail:

The paragraph is a little vague on how to handle the conflict
between a float and another block that generates a new block
formatting context when they are in the same block formatting
context. Why not require that the box is cleared? When is it
desirable to position it adjacent, creating a kind of a
"pseudo-float"?
CSS WG response:
Because that's what UAs interoperably do, and the adjacent
position is desirable if there is enough room.
For the CSS WG,
Bert
