DocBook5: missing @float in figure?

[Thomas Schraitle <tom_schr@web.de>]

Hi,

a few minutes ago I discovered that the float attribute is not available 
in figure in DocBook5. Is this an oversight?

See:
[1]  http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/figure.html
[2]  http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/figure.html

From the TDG description in [1]:

float
If Float has the value 1 (true), then the processing system is free to 
move the figure to a convenient location. (Where convenient location may 
be described in the style sheet or may be application dependent.) A value 
of 0 (false) indicates that the figure should be placed precisely where 
it occurs in the flow.


Thanks,
Tom
