The only change between what I was looking at and the just-published editors' draft is that rule 4 (containing block for position:absolute) changes "[If] the ancestor is inline-level" to "[If] the ancestor is an inline box", which would appear to make it clear that it's talking about box tree ancestry; but the change makes it all the stranger that the text goes on to talk about first and last boxes that this ancestor generates: as far as I know, boxes aren't considered to generate boxes. pjrm.
