The behaviour of floats is exactly defined and

Does the word "column" appear anywhere on this spec?

Clever way of exploiting system for your own purposes is called a
hack.

Nah, I'd call it being creative. Just because the CSS specs don't
explicitly say you may use properties for particular visual effects
doesn't mean you can't.
Kicking the vending machine in the right spot to get some coins is
also creative and the fact that it wasn't built for that doesn't mean
you can't do it (at least when no one is watching ;-)).

No, it's theft. And like all hacks, it doesn't scale.
