Of course. I am proposing something quite different. > If one floats to the top, one expects the float to cover the entire top, I don't think many people would expect floating a picture would ever cause it to stretch. > not to land at some arbiotrary place in the inline direction. Same if one wants to float to the right or left of a column/page/region. It is not arbitrary. Please read what I proposed. It is basically this: float:top moves it to the beginning of the first line box, and let's it become a block (floating already turns inlines into blocks). That's it. The rest is existing effect of combining it with existing inline floating. float:bottom is like float:top, except it moves it to the last line box instead of the first. That covers all the major use cases, and is not the straw man that you are attacking.
