Of more interest to me is why you are trying to float an inline element ( a )?

Another good Q! Seems redundant, yes? Let's back up a sec.

What I'd really like to do (besides direct) is style a list of linked
numbers such that:

 * The overall list is centered
 * Each link has a minimum width of 16px
 * Each link is centered on itself

The minimum width is intended to accomodate a 16px-wide, non-repeated
background image (factored out of the minimal test case). The
centering is used to (initially) center the link/number relative to
the image.

The float is used so that width (or min-width) can be applied. Perhaps
there's a better way though. How about inline-block? Still have to
account for IE though. :\

OK. Here's another example, starting from scratch and using an
unordered list vs. a paragraph. Only Opera 8.5/9 wraparound at the
halfway point:
