Then you're running into all kinds of browser floating bugs.
And,
      - You have to make the next element clear.
      - It doesn't work well when you already have floats
      - You can't center the result because it's floated to
        one side.

No, "display: table" is much better than that. But even better
would be adding David Baron's suggested value, 'intrinsic', to
'width' for CSS3.
