according to css2, the relatively positioned object becomes a containing block which means we need to do the body-block wrapping stuff we do for absolute positioning. this doesn't help us do ILAYER, but at least we can make css2 people happy.
Thinking about it a little it isn't so simple as just wrapping it in
a body. The mechanics of that are easy to do (we just call
CreateWrapperFrame), but just doing that doesn't give us the correct result.
Are you going to put the wrapped BODY frame in your list of flowed children?
I assume so. The tricky part is what happens if the relative positioned element
isn't at the left edge of the line. It needs to be in the same exact position
inside of the body that it would have been if it had been reflowed in-place
This requires more thought than just wrapping it in a body. Here's some HTML
that demonstrated how ugly it gets. Notice that the background color is only
rendered where text is displayed. Both Navigator and IE do it that way.
<style>
#move-me {background-color:gray; position:relative; top:1in; left:1in}
</style>
<body>
<p>Some text in a paragraph <span id=move-me>Here is some text in a span with a
floater_
<img src="house.gif" width=50 height=50 align=left> that we're going to use
relative positioning to move down and to the right some</span> and the text
following the
relative positioned element.</p>
<p>Here's some text that follows. Notice that this text will get obscured by the
relative positioned text because that text has a view and sides above this text
in
the z-order.</p>
</body>
