I don't understand why the browser can't infer this from existing knowledge. If it doesn't have any absolutely positioned or floating child elements, wouldn't that imply contain: content? And if you add overflow: auto or hidden, wouldn't that infer to contain: strict?

I like the idea of containing floats in a div easily, no more clear hacks lol. But... I must be missing something since it really seems to be these optimizations ought to already be possible.
