Makes a lot of sense. Floated elements don't take up any space in the

Try this:

to make it wrap words. Words fly off the monitor...
Shouldn't you be using the code tag instead? It's a semantically better option.
However, the
As long as you keep everything lean and semantic, the content order
won't have a significant affect on Google indexing. However, the

It's best to stick to one CSS file (if you're thinking about
seperating CSS rules based on the section of the page).
However, it's easier to maintain CSS if you seperate positioning and
other decorative/typography styles in to seperate files (E.g.:
layout.css and main.css).

Another application of DL, for example, is for marking up dialogues,
with each DT naming a speaker, and each DD containing his or her words.

That example has been cited often for an instance where W3C got it

If we are to follow the W3C example of using DLs to mark up dialogues,
there's not much wrong with using a definition list for comments.
Infact, it seems a very appropriate use of the element.
However, your use of an unordered list with blockqoutes is very interesting too.

Use a print stylesheet, and get the basics right at the beginning:
* {
position: static;
float: none;
}
This is quite similar to Mobile CSS first steps:
