Section 9.5.1 Positioning the float: the 'float' property has the rules for float positioning. These are introduced by the paragraph stating, "Here are the precise rules that govern the behavior of floats:" I suggest this be followed, immediately, by, "For the purposes of these rules, floats that occur as descendents of a run-in element that is rendered as an 'inline' element at the start of a sibling block element (see Section 9.2.3) are treated is if their containing block is the principle box generated by that block element. This means that floats within the run-in element are not necessarily processed in source order. For example, if there were one or more floats between the run-in element and the block element in which it is rendered, then all such floats would be rendered before the floats within the run-in. This revised ordering holds for clears as well as float positioning." Steve Zilles
