According to the CSS2.1 spec "Vertical margins between a floated box and any 
other box do not collapse", yet my testing reveals that, in the following 
arrangement:

1. a normal paragraph
2. a floated paragraph
3. a cleared paragraph

margins collapse between 2 and 3, but not between 1 and 2. At least, this is 
the case for FF2 and Opera9, whilst IE7 does not collapse either set of margins.

Who is right, have I misunderstood this part of the spec., or is something else 
coming into play?
