DaleDe raised a valid problem with image elements close together in the text ending up in a bunch.

I don't see your potential issue as a problem at all. An image will never appear later than the page following it's optimal marker place. (Except in DaleDe's scenario, where you might get several pages of consecutive images, immediately following the page ion which all their optimal markers have been laid out).

It sounds like the CSS committees are working on a sensible proposal. The real problem is that these will take years to make it into the official CSS, longer into ePub CSS, and even longer into common ePub rendering software. Sigh.
