No, I believe the full quote makes it clear that float cases *are* the 
exception to inline presentation:

"The IMG element has no content; it is usually replaced inline by the 
image designated by the src attribute, the exception being for left or 
right-aligned images that are "floated" out of line."

IMG elements do not meet the distinctions for block-level as described 
in http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#didx-inline
