For DocBook V5, I'm tempted to suggest that we discard float. Having
both attributes can lead to contradictions:

float="0" floatstyle="top-of-page"

The only downside I can see to removing float is that it will require
people to specify some sort of style (e.g., "normal") for floats where
they aren't used to specifying a style at all.

I like this proposal. I think that it is just matter of taste to use floatstyle="normal" rather then float="1", and that having both attributes is quite confusing. For the same reason, when I customized DocBook I usualy removed float attribute and left only floatstyle here.
