The first idea was as described by you in the first point. Nevertheless, I
agree with you that this workflow is not suitable for WYSIWYG. Figures should
not jump around in "undefined" manner when user types.

The main idea was to optimize figure placement (see Latex) but it is hard to
achieve it interactively. 

Maybe better approach would be to implement a new command (plugin): "Optimize
figures placements", which optimizes figures placements in relation to some
parameters (e.g. allowed positions of figures). What do you think?
