Given that page floats are exclusions, a more intuitive way (it would seem to me) of achieving that same result would be to do "float: left top" and "wrap-flow: clear" (that is how you would do it for exclusions, correct?). > If they are the same, then why do we have the "none" at all? > > They are not the same.
