does it have a notation for trivial floats and footnotes? if at the
cost of an hour ror so you could support my two new flow objects, it
would plug an interim gap. 

how do you rest of you doing print pages (as opposed to Web documents)
manage without floats? perhaps I am the only person stuck in the old
technology :-}
