Re: [csswg-drafts] Float positioning "as high as possible" prohibits non-greedy line-breaking (#3756)

I think the set of pages that depend on greedy/float interactions would already be broken in some circumstances. If you are depending on line breaking for a particular float ceiling placement, then a change in font or user font size preference could mess with your intentions. We have never had complete interoperability in line breaks, even with everyone using nearly identical greedy algorithms.

I think it would be reasonable to interpret the 'as possible' float positioning rules as penalties in line breaking scores. A set of line breaks that placed a float higher would score better than a set that placed a left float lower but more left.
