 The border box of a table, a block-level replaced element, or an element in the normal flow that establishes a new <a href="visuren.html#block-formatting">block formatting context</a> 
 (such as an element with 'overflow' other than 'visible')
 must not overlap any floats in the same block formatting context as
 the element itself. If necessary, implementations should clear the
 said element by placing it below any preceding floats, but may place
 it adjacent to such floats if there is sufficient space.
