CSS issue with Chrome/Safari/IE

The issue and solution is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7452472/jquery-datatables-and-ie-chrome-safari-table-overlaps-footer-instead-of-pushing
I ran into this issue yesterday, and had to apply the "float: left" to .dataTables_wrapper, so I would like to ask if this can be included in the standard CSS by default.

If that is an issue for you depends entirely upon your surrounding HTML and the CSS applied to it. float:left on the wrapper is not something that should be included in the default CSS - it will cause far more layout issues that it would resolve.

So the example mentioned in the link above was too generic, or there it would work just fine?
I use datatables in a wordpress plugin and I need to do this, but as mentioned by the url above: not for firefox.

As I say, it really depends on the rest of the HTML and CSS. I don't remember ever needing to set the container as a floating element before. Generally I'll have a wrapper around content which is floating, but as I say, it really depends upon a lot more.
