I think giving a second meaning to the 'static-position' value is not a good idea. I can think of two possible alternatives that might be more suitable: Either - allow floats to take box offset properties; they could then overlay one another for instance, the 'clear' property then being used for the following element. This would make float a particularly powerful property for layout. Or - Introduce an 'all' value for the 'clear' property; 'clear:all' would go to the end of everything so far, as if to the end of the document, and proceed anew. This seems a very clean solution. -- Regards, Val Sharp - Edinburgh
