It could be that 'fixed' positioning is considered as included in 'absolute' positioning. 9.6.1 states: "Fixed positioning is a subcategory of absolute positioning" Also in chapter 10 there are cases where position 'fixed' is not mentioned explicitly, at least in the sections titles, but included in 'absolute'.
