I like the sentiment of LCD, just not that LCD is the buggy SWF
implementation...
Perhaps text should not allow html at all? That would certainly be
low and common.

Well, that raises a question about our DHTML implementation of <text>:
Should we generate markup that makes it look like how Flash formats
Text blocks? Here it would be to put appropriate CSS on the img tag
so that it clears past the text paragraph. Or is Flash so broken in
so many ways that we should just punt?
From the perspective of differentiating <text> from <html>, it
would help if we could say that <text> is a "least-common-
denominator" solution, and that does argue for making <text> behave
more consistently across runtimes.

Hi John,
Why don't you submit a jira bug because it is such a simple example.
In dhtml, the generated code looks like (in FF1.5):
<div class="lzswftext" style="overflow: visible; height: 300px;
-moz-user-select: none; width: 300px; clip: rect(0px, 300px,
300px, 0px); display: block; z-index: 2;"> Hello dear friends on
the Red Planet! How is the Garden today? <img src="./horse-3.jpg"/
> </div>
For people that don't have time to run the example, the text wraps
around the image in dhtml. In swf, the text is displayed and the
image is displayed beneath it.

Is this a bug, or is the placement not determined?
My concern is not to get them looking the same, but to document the
expected behavior. Any guidance appreciated.
