The "flip" is a real improvement :-)

I think I'm using a /slightly/ similar method with both positive and
negative margins on floats, and some paddings and/or borders to go with
it. It's still having Brill's method as base, but I've flipped it around
so many times that even IE gets dizzy, so I won't recommend such a
"flip-flop" for anyone but the most steady (or suicidal) web designers.

No float-drop in IE though...
