dorayme is being a little obtuse but essentially your proposed can an
will work but requires careful control many aspects such as block widths
and subsequent clearing of floats (akin to precision required to keep
that plane in the air). But floating only one element and not the other
does not require such precision and is free to naturally fall in to
place. We are not saying your method will not work, but may be more
complicated than it needs to be.
