the TeX backend to Jade supports primitive floats with a DSSSL
extension:


(declare-flow-object-class page-float
      "UNREGISTERED::Sebastian Rahtz//Flow Object Class::page-float")
.
.
.

(element fig
 (make page-float
  (make display-group
   (process-children-trim))))
.
.
.
but the RTF thing does not do this. it probably *could*, if hacked
