[CSS21] Floats, overflow: hidden, BFCs and margins
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Feb/0954.html

Excerpts of current spec
------------------------

"
In a block formatting context, each box's left outer edge touches the left edge
of the containing block (for right-to-left formatting, right edges touch). This
is true even in the presence of floats (although a box's line boxes may shrink
due to the floats), unless the box establishes a new block formatting context
(in which case the box itself may become narrower due to the floats). 

(...)

The border box of a table, a block-level replaced element, or an element in the
normal flow that establishes a new block formatting context (such as an element
with 'overflow' other than 'visible') must not overlap the margin box of any
floats in the same block formatting context as the element itself. If
necessary, implementations should clear the said element by placing it below
any preceding floats, but may place it adjacent to such floats if there is
sufficient space.
"


Expected result
---------------

The CSS2.1 spec should indicate how horizontal margins of the orange BFC should
be rendered, especially
- the left margin of the non-floated BFC in tests #1, #2 and #4 of
marges-contexte-formatage.html
- the right margin of the non-floated BFC in tests #4 and #5 of
marges-contexte-formatage.html
- the right margin of the non-floated BFC in all 8 sub-tests of
Floats-And-BFCs-With-Margins-AG.html
