It just complicates it ever so slightly, by altering the visual cues :-)
Relative positioning can be used to offset any element - including
'floats', but 'r.p.' leaves the element's original space intact so
'r.p.' elements interacts with their environment.
Layering 'r.p.' elements with 'z-index' don't remove their space, so
they will still interact with their environment.
We can of course also make 'floats', with added 'r.p.' if necessary,
take up no space - like an 'a.p.' element. However, that's just another
way to complicate 'floats' - for the designer - by altering the visual
cues. 'Floats' will still act as 'floats'.
