I also thought, glancing at this whole discussion, that inlinetasks were kind of what everyone was talking about: something that is stuck in the middle of everything else, that doesn't semantically affect its surroundings, that can be exported or not. I do think minipages and margipars are quite semantically distinct, though. Anyway, inlinetasks have always struck me as a gross hack (how many stars, again?), and I wasn't actually prepared to code anything myself, so I thought I'd restrain myself...
