I forgot to mention one thing in my post a few minutes ago [1]. This
proposal is the solution to the problem I raised a few weeks ago about
lists and floats [2] (and which was noted in the spec [3], as Ian
Hickson pointed out [4]). If one were to declare (possibly in a UA
style sheet):
UL, OL, DIR, MENU { float-displace: jaggedbox; }
the typical behavior of floated images using HTML's align would be
restored, and the list markers would not flow on the "wrong side"
of a float. This could then be reversed by someone who increased
the margin on a UL and had a small image floated to its left, by
declaring:
UL { float-displace: inline; } /* none would work too */
