It's been revised, so now it is possible to use the floats without assigning an explicit width and have them size to the content (auto, the default value for width, evaluated to 0 in CSS2.0). This fix is one that really have an impact on how you can use floats without having a fixed width container, instead relying on contents for sizing. (Also note that most browsers already behaved the CSS2.1 way, except for op7 and moz in some rather special occasions where other properties and conditions play a part.)</p> Well, there is at least one really large change that is worth to mention IMHO, and that is the behavior of the box model relating to floats.
