Hello Alan,
I am still not sure why you insist on an interpretation of 'space' as 'width' - can you point me to a specific line in the 2.1 spec?
I am also not sure why you would insist or expect the BFC in your previous example (the auto-height table) to behave different than a single character that is taller than the float?
Here's a modified version of your example.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
div { width: 190px; border: solid thick silver; }
p { width: 100px; height: 100px;
border: dashed; background: yellow; margin: 0; }
#a { color: magenta; float: left; }
#b { color: blue; float: right; }
</style>
<div>
<p id=a>FLOAT LEFT</p>
<p id=b>FLOAT RIGHT</p>
<span style="font-size: 120px">|</span>
</div>
Thanks,
Rossen
