Take:
p, table { border: solid; }
img { float: left; }
<p> <img ...> ... </p>
<table> ... </table>
Most authors seem to want:
+--------------------+
| +---+ ... |
+-| |--------------+
| | +---------+
| | | |
+---+ | |
| |
...rather than:
+--------------------+
| +---+ ... |
+-| |--------------+
| |
| |
+---+
+---------+
| |
| |
In any case, if they want the latter, they can always get it by setting
clear:left on the table.
