Hi! Slowly recovering from the flu...
So, this is already known. But if there’s indeed such reasoning behind, it really makes no sense at all!
Even if Hans’ workflow is not capable of right or left placement, it’s easily achievable in HTML/ePub (CSS float: left/right), so it can’t generally be meaningless.
And I can’t accept that the option of exporting to XML would (more or less) drastically and needlessly change the print layout!
At least _please_ make it an option!
Greetlings, Hraban
