If I use

They don't for me, works fine.
Trouble is, auto-width-float is relatively new addition brought in with
CSS 2.1 (standardising what many browsers were already doing). The spec
in 2.0 says that any float *must* have a specified non-auto width, and
some browsers (IE/Mac and Opera IIRC) did require that. Opera 8, on the
other hand, now supports it.
What is the 'correct' syntax to tell compliant browsers that I want the
block to be as wide as the text (+padding) but no wider?
If you want to get shrink-to-fit elements on browsers that don't support
CSS 2.1/auto-width-float, the only other documented way is a table (with
table-layout: auto, the default). Which probably wouldn't be much use
with positioned menus.
