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;
}
