But even if they might not be full width doesn't mean that the
inline content flows around them on both sides.  It still seems like
there's a difference between "float to the top, place on the left
side, and have text flow underneath but not to the right" and "float
to the left, place on the top side, and have text flow on the right
but not underneath", even though both are top-left corner.  And
there's also the third option of wrapping on both sides.

Or is the plan to have authors do the first two by using a mechanism
for the third, and requiring an extra containing element that is
width:100% or height:100%?
