Added to the collector. I'm positive that there is at least a little
bug somewhere in your list of problems, but I have no time right now
to do research.

There is:

   \startpostponing
     <stuff with postponed floats>
   \stoppostponing

I believe it is mentioned in a manual somewhere, but don't recall
off-hand which one. However, I'm not confident that that mechanism
does precisey what you want, and it is definately not automatic.

Cheers, Taco
