Given this point of view, I'm a little dubious about declaring that certain >>kinds<< of document elements are always structural or always floating. In my opinion it makes more sense to simply define an attribute which may be put on a floating element, and let the document author declare what can float. As I understand it, this "floating element" concept comes from the idea that illustrations and sidebars should be near the text that refers to them but that their placement is a layout issue, not an editorial issue. However, it can quite easily happen, for example, that a table is a part of the text, and for it to make sense it should appear between two paragraphs. This isn't a real big issue in my opinion -- which is why I don't want to see us develop an elaborate mechanism for handling it. -- Raul
