Consider the following testcase:
<body style="width: 300px">
<div style="float: left; height: 100px; width: 100px"/>
<div style="overflow: hidden" id="test">
Text
</div>
</body>
And assume all three elements generate block boxes and no other styles are
applied. What is the correct layout? Per section 10.3.3, the computed width of
the id="test" block is 300px, and since its margin box may not overlap the float
I'd expect it to be cleared below the float. But there's some sort of confusing
wording in section 9.4.1 about "the box itself may become narrower due to the
floats", and all current UAs make the id="test" block 200px wide and place it
next to the float...
Is the idea that both layouts are "correct" per the spec or something?
