If you wanted an object to float left, you'd use either style="float:left" or style="float:$stylevar[left]" if you wanted an object to float right it would be either style="float:right" or style="float:$stylevar[right]".
Float only has left, right, none, inherit (and the very obscure center which I don't think much supports).
I see the $stylevar[left] or right used in almost every template, but it just seems so pointless. When would left ever be something other than left? Any why bother with a phrase at all when plain css is shorter, does the same job, is easier to edit, and because of the simplicity of the function could only possibly ever be right-for-right and left-for-left.
Thus, that's why I'm confused by the use of a global phrase in this case for something that seems like you'd never ever redefine it. What am I missing?
