Indeed. Floats (fo:float), floating horizontally are for that. Unfortunately,
in most implementations I'm aware of floats either do not float at all,
or float in the natural vertical direction.

Other implementation do support horizontal floating, but lack other significant
features.

And no, RenderX XEP does not handle fo:float yet. It's on the list, though;
and the time it will be implemented depends on our customers. None of them
asked us about the floating objects.
