http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-sizing/#block-intrinsic says:
# The max-content measure of a block container box is the measure
# of the box after layout, if all children are sized under a
# max-content constraint.
I don't think this is what any current implementation does (although
some implementations -- old Gecko and old IE -- used to compute it
that way), and it's distinguishable from implementation behavior in
many testcases. Implementations actually use heuristics (which I
believe match pretty well, but not perfectly) to determine when
float intrinsic widths should be added to block intrinsic widths and
when they should just be max()'d. I believe these heuristics should
be specified.

What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
