[drupal-devel] css clear use

[David Norman]

I'm trying to develop a theme with floating css elements and there are
several uses of clear in misc/drupal.css that are messing up my layout.
Is there a particular programmatic reason the use of clear is
superordinate to themes?

I seem to have been able to override it in the theme css file, but aside
from it being temporarily annoying to fix, it doesn't seem like I should
have to override Drupal built-in css.
