Slightly confused though - setting the width does solve the problem by
fixing the width of the containing division so the p only stretches
that far but that removes the point of floating that div in the first

allows me to right-align items (like the link in the example).

Dunno. Try [your inline markup deleted]:

markup

<div>
<p>Some paragraph</p>
<a href="#">Interesting Link</a>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
....



css
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
background : #fff;
color : #000;
margin : 0;
}
body {
font : 100%/1.4 arial, sans-serif;
}
p {text-align : left;}
a {position: absolute; top: 0; right:0; }
div {float: left;  position: relative;}
</style>


Best,
