The difficult problem with using an anonymous inline-block, however, is that when the pre and post sections end up having no content, you have to margin collapse the offending blocks with surrounding content. This would necessitate having a sort of hybrid line/block layout that could easily slide into and out of both layout modes.

It's basically there for convenience. Strictly speaking it isn’t necessary, although it simplifies a lot of the code that deals with continuations. It’s basically there for convenience.
