It is shown that a unital lattice-ordered ring in which the square of every element is positive is embeddable in a product of totally ordered rings provided it is archimedean, semiperfect, or π-regular. Also, some canonical examples of unital l-domains with squares positive that are not totally ordered are discussed.
