Completly agree, but part authors should strive to (if possible) present the
parts for voiting already BFC compliant. But it's NOT a requirement.

This reasoning also favours the "non branch BFC dependence", even authors which
don't supply BFC compliant parts would benefit from the BFC compliant
primitives.

It can be done with some time, with no rush.

Before "we have to to stick with Steve's proposal" I would like my recent BFC
related e-mails to be replyed, and I would also like someone to convince me
why my proposed approach is worst or why someone elses is better, thank you.

See ya
