Yep! Especially those that try to fit text INSIDE of a shape... I can only imagine the horrors that will occur when the font-size gets larger.

The CSS that allows it to just wrap around an alpha of an image seems pretty helpful though.

In LaTeX, there is also this package called shapepar, which does the same thing. You can see a few examples here:
