I think that document is referring to _relative positioned_  floats  
[1]. I don't see anything in the spec that prohibits this. CSS2.1:9.7  
talks about position: absolute or position: fixed specifically [2].  
Most if not all current UA's accept/apply position: relative for  
floated elements.

[1] as in
selector {
   float: left;
   position: relative;
}
