I'm not sure why you didn't get an update, but somehow you still found your way here.

I don't remember if it was the case back in 2009, but I know now that you can have both floats and positioning set. It probably was the case in 2009 too and I was incorrect thinking you couldn't use both.

I do use both at times now too, usually because I need position: relative set for a child element.
