XEP 2.7x, but these aren't floats. It's a block thing inside of a para, specifically
when there's mixed content before the block thing.
<para>
The following image shows just what I mean.
<informalfigure float="0">
<mediaobject>
<imageobject><imagedata fileref="../image.gif"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</informalfigure>
Here's some more text about the image.
</para>
When the renderer has a choice of putting the image with the text that comes before
the image (but is in the same para)or with text that comes after, it should go with
the text that comes before. If you have a figure, list, procedure, or whatever inside
of a para, you're indicating that the text in that para is closely related to the
figure, list, or procedure.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to put together good test cases that show the behavior,
but in a document we're working with that has lots of screenshots we had lots of pages
where the image was pushed to the next page, while the text that introduced it was on
the previous page, sometimes with lots of blank space.
Not sure if I'm expressing myself well, but it's intuitive when you see it :)
