Do ever need full 2D floating?
Does it make sense to only float in the block direction without also
floating in the inline direction.
If we don't need to float only in the block direction. For a simple version
of page floats, I think we will need these directions as a minimum:
up/down/right/left (filling 100% in the direction it is not floated in)
right/left (using existing block-level)
top-left-left (priority for left)
top-top-left (priority for top)
top-right-right
top-top-right
bottom-left-left
bottom-bottom-left
bottom-right-right
bottom-bottom-right
center
top-center-center
top-center-right (if this is not the first top-center float, try to place
the float to the right of the top center float)
top-center-left
bottom-center-center
bottom-center-right
bottom-center-left
