I don't understand what you mean with anchors and divs, but I made a
change to your stylesheets so that the mediaobject's id attribute is
written to HTML output, and it works as expected. However, I know by
experience that when you begin hacking, it's because you are doing
something the wrong way.

No, it's not sufficient. For my last example, I must set the following
style:
#man {
»·······float: right;
»·······margin: 20px;
}
BTW couldn't the mediaobject's 'float' attribute make the images float
as documented? Or maybe my definition of floating is wrong?
All the best,
