Like in an academic paper or a book, as in Latex or Word or any other decent word processor. Say I want the figure to be a block that appears at the top or bottom of some page (although it may have other figures above or below it), ideally a page close to the anchor point that I choose. Normal text doesn't overlap the figure.
How is that not a float?
A CSS float floats right or left, trying to preserve its vertical position as much as possible in the process.
A TeX float (what roc is looking for here) has no horizontal position because it is the width of the page. Its floating is done vertically -- it floats to a page break. It's a little complicated in full detail, but that's the gist of it.
So what roc is looking for is a way to say: "put this block at the top of a page; preferably the top of the page that this anchor point is in, but it can slip down to later pages".

Wow, masochism. Like TeX floats would ever end up where one thinks they should.
But whatever, what would a "page" be for media "screen"?
