<P>Some text to wrap <TABLE ALIGN=right
BORDER=1><TR><TD>TABLE</TABLE>around the table. Some more text to wrap
around the table.

The first line goes full length. The top of the table is below the
first line.

No, there isn't. You'd have to apply the ALIGN=right attribute to the
IMG. You did not use ALIGN in any of your examples. But for the sake of
continuing the discussion, let's assume you did.

Whether the image is "local" or "express" isn't an issue. The
right-aligned IMG element is "floated" to the right and maintains its
own bounding box. It seems logical to me that the second P would be
rendered into any available space between the left margin and the left
edge of the IMG. This behavior can be overruled using <BR CLEAR=right>.

When the "inline image" is aligned right it ceases to be inline?
