It's still not clear . <IMG> is a replaced element, so that reference
doesn't seem to apply.
If I have the following:
<img src="image.gif" align=left>
<p>Pretend this is a very long paragraph than rambles on about
something.... </p>
How can I have a browser render the paragraph *below* the image if
there's not enough room on the right of the image?
