Description Anton P 2012-01-02 15:40:16 UTC 
Reported by David Baron

The "Computed Value" line for 'float' in 9.5 says "as specified" (ie the same as the specified value), but this is incorrect since the computed value of 'float' is 'none' in the case that the computed value of 'position' is 'absolute' or 'fixed'.

Note that this situation is handled better for the 'display' property.

Proposal needed.
