http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101001/xhtml1/block-in-inline-relpos-002.xht and its HTML equivalent, are, as far as I can tell, invalid. It would probably make sense if they were valid, though. (That said, Gecko implements the current spec.) However, the rules for float positioning in section 9.5 are very clearly written in terms of the position of the float's containing block, and nothing in the section on relative positioning overrides that. Given the description of issue-138 in the issue tracker: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-138 I'd have hoped that it would have fixed this issue. However, the resolution for the issue only clarified the position of floats contained within blocks inside a relatively positioned inline, and didn't do anything to define relative positioning as moving floats that are descended from a relatively positioned inline without a block that is an ancestor of the float and descendant of the inline. -David -- L.
