ImageData does not allow floating image

Folks,
ImageData enumerates the Align attribute to be one of "Left", "Right",
and "Center".
This is ambiguous. Does
...
<imagedata ... align="right">
...
mean that the image should appear on the right, with white space to its
left, or does it mean that the image should float right, and the text
should wrap down its left hand side? In HTML terms, it's the
distinction between:
<p align="right"><img ... ></p> <!-- Right, with whitespace -->
and
<p><img align="right" ... ></p> <!-- Floats right, text wraps -->
It's feasible that an author might want both types of image in the same
document.
Could we extend the enumerated values for Align to allow "FloatLeft" and
"FloatRight" or similar?
Is this worth RFE'ing?
