If this is the only problem you see, you will be surprised to meet the other
umpteen problems.
1. Try doing nested floats in Opera browsers.
2. Try doing nested floats without using width and height for the
surrounding containers. Since you don't know them in advance for objects
containing text (for accessible layouts you have to use relative font
sizing!) you won't be able to stretch the whole element. Only browser doing
this correct by default is IE.
3. Try using a fixed number of columns with images of different heights
using the "no rows" option in the BE form.

Only 3 of the impossibilities you might get confronted with ;-)

Don't think so ...

Tested with Mozilla, Netscape, IE and Opera on W2K and it did not.

Full ACK!

Me too - this is why I would never use floated elements here ;-)
