When I go to the list of use cases for Regions and Exclusions, which
are linked from the Regions WD:
http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css3-regions/regions-use-cases
I see many fancy examples, which presumably are in scope?
For example, you write:
The following image illustrates the need to be able to flow content
around an arbitrarily shaped area.
Shouldn't you also have an example, with Steve's pull-quote image,
where you say:
The following image illustrates the need to be able to insert an
element between two columns.

Again, there is a proposed solution in GCPM:
