Is that correct? Maybe we could expand the list of applicable properties beyond that of first-line?

I think that sort of behavior would be better specified using a new float property value rather than region-specific styling rules, since you'd like to do that in multi-column layouts as well.  I don't think I should have to use @region-style just to get that behavior in existing CSS3 multi-column layouts.
