IMO we only need a clear if we have some elements (pictures) before that
really have a float applied. AFAIR we had the problem that there was a
clear but for some reason there was no element that  had an open float
applied. therfor the clear was applied to our general site-layout, which
was the next floating element.

I guess in first place we rather need a good and documented test-case so
we can really easy and nicely test how everything is going. Ther are
just too many positiong-options and combinations that it is really hard
to make it failsafe. ;( AFAIR it also made a difference if the header
was included or not.
