[DFDL-WG] Extra restrictions needed for dfdl:floating 'yes' ?

Section 14.4 of the spec says:
"An ordered sequence of n element children with either n or n-1 of those
children with dfdl:floating='yes' is equivalent to an unordered sequence
with the same n element children with dfdl:floating='no'."
Does this mean that the extra restrictions we recently added for unordered
sequences must also apply to floating elements?
If so these would manifest themselves as:
It is a schema definition error if an element with dfdl:floating 'yes' is
an optional element or an array element and its dfdl:occursCountKind
property is not ‘parsed’.
It is a schema definition error if two or more elements with dfdl:floating
'yes' in the same group have the same name and the same namespace.
