    I used something that was a little closer to XEP's example, which included a
    block-container:

        <fo:float float="start"
                  start-indent="{$title.margin.left}"
                  clear="both">
          <fo:block-container width="-{$title.margin.left}">
              <fo:block
                    font-weight="normal"
                    font-size="7pt"
                    line-height="8pt"
                    start-indent="0pt"
                    end-indent="1pc">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
              </fo:block>
          </fo:block-container>
        </fo:float>

    It tested this in both XEP and Antenna House, and it works for both. I was
    thinking that it might become a feature of the DocBook stylesheets, which is
    why I wanted it to work with all processors (although FOP does not support
    side floats yet).

    I had tried something like Jirka's example, but in Antenna House the content
    did not wrap, it just stayed on one line and intruded into the body area. I
    think the difference is that XEP supports width on fo:block, even though
    that property is not in the spec for fo:block. Is that an XEP extension?

    I was prototyping this some time ago, see attachement. I'm not sure if
    it still works with the latests stylesheets, but you can give it a try.
    Content of <remark> elements are formatted as marginalia, but you can
    change this very easily.
