Confession: I haven't looked at the doc page you pointed to.

I say "any Fedora Live media" because there is a distinction between
Installation media, and Live media.  The official spins and remixes are
live images, in the sense that you can boot to a working desktop without
installing anything on your hard drive.  Whereas, installation media are
the DVDs[1] which lets you install with all the installation methods and
features supported by anaconda but *does not* give you a working desktop
before installing to the disk.

To summarise:

1. DVD installation media: no live desktop, but all installation methods
   are supported.

2. Live media: presents you a working desktop without installation,
   which can be optionally installated by limited support for different
   installation methods.

HTH

Footnotes:

[1] There are some Live DVD spins though, e.g. Games spin.
