Can you give an example of where standard-compliant browsers expand
the outer container with a float as content?
I believe Roger pointed to the almost perfect example:

Myself, being a "heavy user" of floats, simply forgot to point to the
obvious: floats will expand to contain floats, unless we fix the
container's dimensions in such a way that the content-float overflow its
container.
- Standard compliant browsers will respect the dimensions first, and
expand to contain other floats if allowed to.
- IE/win will need some negative margins on the content-float, to reduce
its actual dimensions, or dimensions set on the floating outer container
will not be respected.
