Some remarks on Giuseppe's list:

Eventually, probably both will become obsolete ;) At least, I hope 
so: I am gradually trying to move everything DB-like to XML.

I like this idea as well.

Me too, me too!

I don't understand this one. You mean the internal data from
\in etc.?  You can get that stuff number from within the macro
\doifreferencefoundelse. Does dat help?

Non-moving floats are already in context:  \placefloat[here][...] ? 
(otherwise I misunderstood your request). They do not split though
and yes, I want that as well.

Right. I have (somewhere) a workaround that uses \reference to
reach this goal.
