For what it's worth, Gecko's isn't.  ;)  At the very least some sort of 
special-casing would have to be performed where some things inherit from 
the :first-line and some other things that clearly should don't.

Since first-line can be styled with a different font, this problem is 
already inherent to any implementation of first-line and doesn't need 
floats to encounter it.
