I can read what you've written, but I'm surprised it is ignoring the 
float.  Did you use keep-together.within-column= which would be 
better than just keep-together= because of the scope of influence of 
the attribute?

I recommend you perform your transform to create your XSL-FO result, 
and then hack the result until you get the properties the way that 
will work for you.  That will tell you what the end result of the 
properties need to be, and that will direct you how to change your 
transformation.

Good luck!
