The template and CSS specify a relationship of page components. For a
given relationship, the rendering direction affects what gets pushed
off the display.

Had the browser been rendering from right to left, the right
navigation div would have been rendered first and therefore be next to
the window right border even for a very narrow window. In that case,
the stuff in the content div would get pushed off to the left.

I am not sure what you meant by having a div first and then float
another div to the left. However, if by left, you meant right, then
yes, the content will break.
