I dislike having more and more different display values, especially  
one that is almost, but not quite, identical to another.  I would  
prefer a new value for 'clear' that affected rows instead of floats.

.my_table_structure > div { display: table-cell }
.my_table_structure > div:nth-of-type(4n+1) { clear:row; }

Perhaps this sort of clearing could even be applied to an element in  
the contents of a table cell, to force its nearest table-cell ancestor  
into a new row.
