borders, blockquotes, and floated images


http://www.web-ho.com/blog/test.html is a model to illustrate the
following problem: The second paragraph ("Sed nec augue ... Fusce nec
massa.") is a blockquote set out with a gray bar with

border-left: 5px solid #ccc;

As can be seen by adjusting the window width so that the second paragraph
is partly to the right of, and partly below the image, the gray bar hides
partially under the image, it is not pushed to the right with the text by
the floated image. Is it at all possible to have the border follow the
outline of the text rather than the maximal enclosing rectangle?
