So, could anyone please confirm that it's impossible to generate pdf
with floating images using either DSSSL or XSL, and that one has to
emulate that with tables?

I need an article title and a paragraph floating around an image on the
right side of the page; the paragraph is longer than the image height.
Seems that it would be quite difficult to simulate title in the table
cell and maintain the paragraph in two chunks, the first one in the
table, and another -- after it...

Thanks in advance,
Baurjan.
