I like the graphics as well, but... I found that using a frame works well for PDF (and print) production but fails badly in conversion to other formats such as HTML and ePub or even wiki. The tables don't work all that well in conversions either. I know you've done some work hacking ePub files, so perhaps you know of a way to deal with this that doesn't involve time-consuming manual work. I think it's important to make our source files as conversion-friendly as possible, even if it means that any one output format isn't as exciting as we'd like. Of course, if there were a magic macro or several to deal with conversion issues, that would be ideal.
