Typo: s/whos/whose/. If the right outer edge of LF is to the right of the left outer edge of a float R, then is R really to the right of LF ? Was the intent of "to the right of" rather to say that LF and R overlap each other vertically (their margin boxes, for example) ? Need to specify which right edge (content, outer etc.) of the parent box. However, are we sure that the rule should be the float's parent box rather than the containing block? E.g. what if the parent box is an inline? What if LF is the root element (so has no parent box) ? Sorry if this is already answered by the test cases; and more generally sorry that I haven't given much thought to this issue, I'm just about to go to bed. pjrm.
