We currently produce software documentation with very wide margins and
put the section headings in these margins. This currently requires a
lot of fairly complicated work with tables. I could imagine side-floats
being useful for simplifying this, providing that the side floats are
always kept with the text they are associated with.

Dear Fop users,
I'm currently thinking about the implementation of side-floats
(<fo:float float="start/end">) into Fop. It turns out that there is a
choice to make between several design decisions which imply different
behaviors regarding the placement of floats on the page.
To help me make a decision, I'd like to know which usage you would make
of side-floats: on a general manner, what sort of typographic material
would you typeset using side-floats? Particular things of which we don't
think in the first place?
More specifically, as the XSL-FO recommendation allows some freedom in
these areas:
- would you expect a side-float being placed on another page than its
anchor? Would you prefer the whole chunk of text to be deferred on the
following page?
- would you expect a side-float being split on several pages?
- would you expect different layouts, depending on whether a set of
side-floats would be placed on the middle of a page or at the bottom
(thus, with some of them on the current page and the others on the
following page)?
Any comments, remarks, hints of all sort would be welcome.
Thanks,
Vincent
