My primary concern was about using the metaphor
page->line->run->run-offset for cursor pos. Since then I've become wiser.

I've come to the conclusion that (for now) the ony reasonable way to
store docPos is by PT_DocPosition + one bool that says if we're at EOL or
not.
As for the troubles regarding "floating frames", I have no intention to
even try to design, nor implement, floating frames (in a foreseeable
timeframe).

Great! We now know that you know what _not_ to do, perhaps you by now
even know _what_ to do?! *hint, hint* ;-)
