You're asking whether they produce negative results in any
cases without negative margins?

Sure.  There are other ways of making non-positioned blocks in the
same normal flow overlap, such as small (or even just non-factor)
line-heights, or explicit heights or max-heights.

And of course, if you presume that things will never overlap, then
z-ordering rules become a lot less interesting.

But on real Web pages, things do overlap quite a bit.
