Funny thing is that when I read it, it says:
A floated box is shifted to the left or right until its outer edge
touches the containing block edge or the outer edge of another float.
If there's a line box, the top of the floated box is aligned with the
top of the current line box.

What makes you add the last sentence in your quote?
