This seems like it might be too strong. It seems like it might imply that floats inside the inline box are affected by the relative positioning, even though the inline box is not in their containing block chain. (See the test at http://dbaron.org/css/test/2010/css21-issue-138-simple-float-test , which at least in Gecko and Chromium shows that floats are affected by the relative positioning of their containing block but not by an inline that is in their ancestor chain but inside their containing block.) However, floats inside a block inside the inline probably should be, since their containing block is affected by the relative positioning (which is more the point of this issue). Would it be better to say simply that the relative positioning "also affects the block box contained by the inline" instead of "also affects the block box"? -David -- L.
