Screenshot of IE9 results

I would have to search for the exact wording in the standard that dictates how these floats should behave but I'm pretty confident that what WebKit is doing is violating the standard. 

I can only directly test this issue in IE9. There the words Breaking and Float render on one line as expected. See the screenshot I attached.
However if I use the NetRenderer tool to check IE7 and 8 ( http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php ) I can confirm that indeed, the words render on two lines in IE7.
IE8 renders them on one line as expected though.

So to summarize:

IE7 and before behave the same as WebKit: Words render on two lines.
IE8, IE9, Firefox 3 and 4 and Opera (latest versions) render as I would expect: On one line.

I can't point you to a site that demonstrates this issue in real life as I discovered it during development and changed it to something that does work... as I guess most developers will have done.
