I don't think there is a strict accessibility rule not to use absolute positioned divs, but to accommodate varying font and window sizes it is often easier to use floats for layout. For example, a floated navigation bar will push down the footer of a page with little content. However, an absolutely positioned navigation bar will overlap with the footer if the content is not as long. (This example assumes a 2 or 3 column layout with a 100% wide footer.)
