No, I believe the full quote makes it clear that float cases *are* the exception to inline presentation: "The IMG element has no content; it is usually replaced inline by the image designated by the src attribute, the exception being for left or right-aligned images that are "floated" out of line." IMG elements do not meet the distinctions for block-level as described in http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#didx-inline -- Bill Mason Accessible Internet whatwg at accessibleinter.net http://accessibleinter.net/
