Should a "floating caliper" really float?!

When I drive over a crack in the road at low speed 5-10 mph, I hear a clinking noise from the rear of my car. After closer examination it is the caliper jiggling just a hair back & forth. The car drives great and the brakes exhibit no problems. Should it float on the rotor in such a manner?
The car is a 1991 300D.
