    <thetext>Reported by Anton Prowse

In 9.5.2 (Controlling flow next to floats: the &apos;clear&apos; 
property), a new Example 1 was added – lifted word-for-word from 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Feb/0108.html.  This is a welcome addition, but in general its style is far too informal, and it also needs some cleaning up:

   # (B1 has no children and no padding or border)

But we should state that it does have positive height.

   # [...]: block B2 with a top margin of M2 (no padding or border, no
   # children). B2 has &apos;clear&apos; set to &apos;both&apos;. We also assume B2 is not
   # empty.

Assuming that B2 is non-replaced, it cannot be non-empty and yet have no children.  Rather, we should state that it has positive height.

   # [...], we are in the situation described in the spec where we need
   # to add clearance

This needs a proper cross-reference.

We also need to refer to the hypothetical position at some point in this 
example.
