The logic is clear.
However, I observed that Firefox 2.0 (locally on win2K) did not behave
as expected with only the float trick (tested back and forth several
times to make sure), hence the proposed double-styling.
Broken logic or erratic behavior in that Firefox version. I don't think
there are any problems with leaving both properties open to all
browsers, but this is one of the combinations that Gecko has shown
erratic behavior for in earlier cases.
