Bidi in HTML: Floats

Hi Aharon and colleagues,

Section 3.3 of the "Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML"  
discusses embedded block elements created using the CSS "display"  
property. Another CSS property that can turn inline elements into  
block elements, and therefore should be discussed here, is "float":
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#float-position
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#dis-pos-flo

As with "display", a block element created using "float" should be  
treated as its own UBA paragraph. Unlike with "display", however,  
floated text visually leaves the context of the element's ancestors,  
so it probably should not be considered at all when laying out the  
remaining text.
