What a treat, Georg! THIS kind of insight is what I was hoping for.
I'll try to accept the standards more as a given and not to think too
much about foundational issues, though sometimes these aspects
intrigue me.
I get that. Curiosity is good ... just don't try to find pure logic
behind//everything you run into, as it may not lead to much. And, there
will always be bugs...
For instance, and as an aside, while it's commonly
claimed that floats were not intended for layout, Wium Lie rejects
this notion in https://dev.opera.com/articles/css-twenty-years-hakon/.
It is "highly illogical" that we should avoid the use of any
design-technique that actually works, just because someone else in the
profession happens not to like it. We just have to learn to master all
the various techniques - in depth and in combination, so we can choose
the best solutions for each task at hand.
As one who has, and still is, using floats for just about everything the
technique works well for - and then some, I am well aware of the
arguments against floats for layout that have been "floating around"
for decades. Has never bothered me, and some of my first inspirations
for the more intricate uses of floats for layout was derived from the
code behind Wium Lie's early articles on the W3C site.
Thanks again.
You're welcome.
regards
Georg
