I'm not sure I understand this requirement or how it would differ from 
having inside/outside floats. Can you provide an example of the 
presentation effect you are trying to achieve, including the type of 
document this would be for (technical documentation, magazine/newspaper, 
invoice, etc.)?

This could be achieved in 1.1 using the change bar feature.

Again, I'm not sure I understand the requirement. If the icon is used in 
static text, this can be solved using markers and page-master-specific 
edge regions. Again, an example would be helful.
