    Hi Paul,
    The DocBook XSL page masters are not set up to provide extra margin space on
    the "outside". The current design of indented body text is strictly
    space-on-the-left only. So rewriting the page masters would be the first
    step to enabling outside floats, so that you have somewhere to put the
    float.

    Can you think of a simple approach to getting that to work with XEP's
    float="outside" or float="inside" extenstions? Or will the only
    solution be to alter the page-masters as in RenderX's example? (Can
    you tell I'm trying to put off doing the latter? :)
