Is that right?
The hyphen is my "quick and dirty" way of disabling a declaration
without deleting it or commenting it out. Makes life so much easier to
have the CSS validator find the disabled declarations, than to keep
track of comments or deleted declarations. I have and make frequent use
of a few such tricks while debugging CSS, to speed up the process.
Should not have left it in since it can cause confusion to others.
So, correct, the whole thing rely on 'display: inline-block', and the
crippled float declaration can/should be deleted and forgotten. You
wanted an alternative to equal height floats, and inline-block are very
often the best alternative.
