Oh. I found https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50630 Apparently people there agrees that "as high as possible" means including moving already positioned items. To me it seems that this is a poor solution since it creates less predictable and bouncier results. It also seems more complex to move content rather than positioning the float at "the next line break", and float implementations tend to have quite a few bugs. Should the rec be relaxed to explictly allow or even changed to require Mozilla/IEs behavior? /Staffan
