No, this is no change. The one example picture there is something inherited
from Håkon, but it's certainly not the best example. I did create an
example, which is in the WD (
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-page-floats-3/#example-1263a27a ), but I took it
out of the draft because I realized it actually was doing 2D floating which
was not yet defined.

I can put something similar in again.
