Well implementors shouldn't concern themselves with what authors might
do. If an author wants to float a <br>, I say they do that at their own
peril.
That's why I suggested float:none as a default. We already have <head>
display:hidden as a default. Consider the author who foolishly declares.
head {
display: visible !important;
position: static !important;
float: left; !important;
}
