I also don't like to add an empty HTML tag with no function at all, just
for clearing a float. But it's not possible to change to "clearfix" in
the current stable branch.
So what do you think about approving the patch as it is now for 4.1 and
Trunk and working on a better solution later on during 4.2 development
using the "clearfix" class?
