I think so. There are some examples on how to achieve this with
'float-offset' here:

   http://figures.spec.whatwg.org/#the-float-offset-property
   http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/#the-float-offset-property

In order for the float (or whatever) to nicely align with the text, we
want a way for elements to snap to the baseline grid. I've been
working on baseline rhythms to achive this:

  http://books.spec.whatwg.org/#baseline-rhythms

We probably want float-offeset to be constrained by the element,
although it's tempting to push things outside the box, just a little.
