In short: doing power cleans, you catch the bar at the quarter squat position (that's the lowest you can go).
Doing full cleans you can catch the bar doing a deep front squat if necessary.
That's a funny way to word it, as if there are universal rules about what people "can" do, or it's not a real Power Clean. I think the power clean is just a way for people to do cleans without the technical requirements of competition or using super heavy weights. Crossfit has to have rules about everything, because Crossfit.
The Crossfit guys seem to be doing mostly a power clean with a slow-ish deadlift on the front and a squat on the end. They seem to catch the bar in a power clean position and then deliberately drop into a squat, as opposed to the competition guys who are squatting all the way to get under a heavy bar.

As far as hang cleans, I'm reminded that Dan will often have people deadlift from two inches below the knee, so rather than starting from an inch or two above the knee, it might be beneficial to start below the knee to get some extra juice in the hinge movement.
