[css-page-floats] order of page float placement

Hey again,

there are some questions related to page floats [1] that I would like to
hear some other people on.

1. Page floats are currently defined to work on columns, regions and pages
-- anything that is fragmented. At the New York F2F there were some in the
break asking whether they shouldn't also be able to work on any other
element. The question is: Do we want that? And if  we do, what does a page
float in that case? Is it not just the same as an absolutely placed
exclusion that is placed so it doesn't overlap with any other page float in
that same float reference container?

2. Do we need to allow floats that go both in inline and block directions
within the same fragment? Pro: one can make really complicated layouts,
con: The rules that are used to determine where the where exactly each
float will be placed will be somewhat more complex. The current draft does
not allow some floats going up and others going right in the same fragment.

3. Do we need page floats to be able to go in two directions simultaneously
(up and right)? Currently we don't allow that.
