Neither the XSL spec nor the CSS spec (the latter being the primary
reference for floats anyway) explicitly say one way or the other (not that I
can find). The strong statements are reserved for where the side-floats
_start_. Still, it seems senseless to me to ever allow a side-float to
extend below the main-reference-area.
It's not like the side-float is one monolithic piece...unless it's an image,
the content can generate several block-areas and these can continue into
later reference-areas in the same reference-area-chain. So the fo:float may
result in a left side-float at the bottom of page N, and a left side-float
at the top of page N+1. I am not pronouncing on the desirability of doing or
not doing this; it's an interpretation of the specs.
