Text can float around 'float' block.
I think 'float' was designe dexactly for that purpose :-)

I hope we export HTML (from KWord) *not only* for Konqueror?
Mozilla has hack which allows to use -moz-inline-block, or something like 
that.
AFAIK Opera7 will support 'inline-block', too.

In fact, I was speaking about *possible options*, not about *one unified 
HTML/CSS format*
I can imagine that total number of diufferent HTML/CSS models should be 10-12 
(in HTML Export dialog box), depending on media and model you target.
Think about presentation media, PDA, overhead projector, mobile phone, etc.
