Well Mike, if you're clearing multiple elements, it might be easier to 
do with just a couple of lines of CSS, rather than updating the HTML all 
over the place.

The other way to do float clearing is to specify overflow: hidden, and a 
hasLayout trigger of your choice.

I would like to hear from people with more experience about whether this 
is a less than optimal way of doing things?
