Actually, let me clarify my previous message. The message I quoted didn't
necessarily put notes into the margin. The default behavior for a side
float is for the body text to wrap around it. To put it in the "margin"
clear of the body text, you have to define the body region to include the
side area, and then indent all the body text. The float is not really in
the margin, it is in the space reserved for it in the body region.
