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?
