Relative positioning doesn't seem to work on floats at all. (Unless I did something wrong on the test, but I don't think so. Do recheck it, though.)
Assignee: troy → kipp
Its not clear to me that they should work - relative positioning is for elements in the flow; floaters are out of the flow.

Summary: relative positioning doesn't work on floats → {css spec} relative positioning doesn't work on floats
Section 9.7 says relative positioning and floating are allowed together. The introduction to 10.3 says 10.3.5 and 10.3.6 include relative positioning, which explicitly says it's allowed on floats. And anyway, why not? Unnecessary exceptions are bad. I admit the introduction to 9.4.3 is misleading. And what's P5/critical?
