It looks like a future amendment?

I don't believe so. I don't even think they make that type.
How close to the floor or to the ceiling do they need to be?

Not as far as the 2006 IRC but would be required in the 2009 IRC.

No. The CO alarm must be approved, listed to UL 2034, and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

2009 IRC requires CO alarms conforming to UL 2034. UL 2034 permits the use of any of 3 types of CO alarm: plug-in, battery operated or hard wired. The standard (and the code) does not require hard wired or interconnection.
The code only establishes the alarm location in the vicinity of bedrooms. Otherwise, installation (such as height above floor and clearances to corners) must be in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. CO disperses in air fairly readily and equally, so height above the floor is not such an issue as it is with smoke alarms.
Note that the CO alarm must be marked with a UL listing logo and a category or class listing. It is not required to identify UL 2034, though most manufacturer's will so identify their product.
