I suppose this reads 'overflow: clip' doesn't address "clearing the float" ? I am not criticizing the proposal as the use cases might just be parallel, but the above sentence is just vague and diffucult to parse, at least to me. The use case Bruno has is to specify 'clearfix' on an element without refering to the parent element and a pseudo-element, I think. Was there a previous discussion about this on the list? Is this problem solved by switching to flex layout? If not, why? Cheers, Kenny -- Web Specialist, Opera Sphinx Game Force, Oupeng Browser, Beijing Try Oupeng: http://www.oupeng.com/
