Ah. Did not had a look into that page, sorry. A floated image does not sit on the linebox where the first letter lives in. The presence of the float just shortens the linebox. However, the phrase " on its line " is a bit difficult, since the float spec uses a similar phrase "on the same line" for a different thing: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#floats "The IMG box is floated to the left. The content that follows is formatted to the right of the float, starting on the same line as the float."
