Philippe,

You're right!

Reconstitution of example with rendering image side by side:
http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/float-testing/inline-span-with-clear-example.html

Test from CSS 2.1 test suite:
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/latest/html4/clear-applies-to-008.htm

All the code examples and code excerpts in all CSS TRs should have a link
to a test showing, demonstrating such example in a real, live manner.
Errors would be avoided, issues with length, (proportionality) values,
scalability would be avoided and the instructional value/worth of the
examples would be increased.
