Crosswind landing query

I've been reading about landing in crosswinds, it always mentions:
1. Keep your speed up
2. Recommends using less flaps or land flapless.
3. Land positive - avoid long flares (forget about 'greasing' it)

My question:
By keeping the speed up, how do you land positive since your airspeed is on the high side? The aircraft will tend to float due to your higher speed.
