Oops ... missed the loop on this one. Should have posted to support.

Kevin,

Thanks -- I had overlooked the relationship between the float and the
reference area. It had been working for us as is up until we hit this
particular book.

Due to how our markup and stylesheets are set up, it will be a bit of a pain
to implement this. The markup that generates the float is currently a
sibling to a large number of elements that might generate the fo:block for
the reference area. But that's my problem, not yours...

Thanks for pointing this out!

Regards,
David
