What's in the spec now was discussed at the last face-to-face and Vincent took an action to add floats to the processing model for exclusions [1]. The action isn't entirely clear on that point, but if you look at the minutes [2] you can see that floats was the topic that produced the issue. > Are there any use cases that can be provided of a real-world exclusions-based > layout that cannot be achieved with floats and positioning? I agree that most real-world use cases for exclusions will likely be floats. But *requiring* the use of floats seems a little odd to me. Say I want to put an exclusion on the middle yellow box of example 23 in css3-layout [3]. Why should I be required to redefine slot c as a page float in order to add an exclusion? I think I should be able to position an element with an exclusion using whatever tools CSS gives me.
