If we interpret "the other side" as follows: Imagine a line of text, where ### is an image: One two three ### four five six. Now float that image to the left: #### One two three four five six. Note that the words "One two three" have moved to the *other side* of the image. then the statement in 9.5 is actually wrong for right-floated boxes in LTR or left-floated boxes in RTL. [Note that the current 9.5 text is different from that quoted in the mailing list posts for this bug, which was changed due to Issue 192 (http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-192).] Conversation begins: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Oct/0027.html (Issue 3) Bug description: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Oct/0058.html Issue 273: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-273 Summary Wording incorrect for RTL text next to floats URL http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Oct/0058.html Status Open. =errata= Deferred to Errata
