It is correct per the spec. Depending on how your browsers are configured (which default font ?), the issue will be more or less visible. The intrinsic line-height for the roman text (Times maybe, or Helvetica maybe ?) is narrower / smaller than the line-height for the Japanese text - Hiragino Kaku gothic has an intrinsic line-height of about 1.5em, Times about 1.15em, Helvetica 1.05em). The line-box generated for your first floated box is thus much taller than the ones for the Roman text.

Set the line-height ? or better 'clear:right' for the second float (basic things really)?

It doesn't help that WebKit does some hackery things with Helvetica and Times to have their (intrinsic) line-height match the one for Arial and Times New Roman - but that is still smaller than Jpn fonts.
