" The 'clear' property does not consider floats (...) in other block formatting contexts. " http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#flow-control is probably what I missed... which would mean that clear can/could apply to an element with its display property set to 'table-caption'. So, at least the meta text assert isn't completely true. > Note that if you had two captions in a CSS-styled table (something which > is invalid in HTML4 tables), you could float both of them left and set > "clear:left" on the second one, to observe that 'clear' does apply to > table captions... although it isn't a very useful design pattern so I > don't imagine authors do it much! 17.2.1 Anonymous table objects http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#anonymous-boxes states that an anonymous 'table' (or 'inline-table') box T must be generated for misparented 'table-caption' box... and so, it seems, this implies that it does not create an anonymous table wrapper box... Anton, this is your scenario-example: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/clear-applies-to-caption-boxes-2.html I'm still a bit confused by all this.
