Here's one sentence in section 7.1:
An upstream facing high-speed capable transceiver must not
operate in low-speed signaling mode, but must be able to
operate in full-speed signaling mode.
More to the point is this sentence in 9.2.6.6:
A device capable of operation at high-speed can operate in
either full- or high-speed.
That's not exactly the same as being compatible with a USB 1.1 host;
the rest of it follows from the fact that the 2.0 spec is backward
compatible with the 1.1 spec.
