Thank you for your mail, Hraban! It is good to know that the bottom key
might be unreliable.

I wanted to be able to put floats in bottom, with (unnumbered) captions on
top in margin. A bit dual to the mail I sent to the list about topfigures
with captions in the margin. As you say, maybe using layers is the best way
to obtain what I want. I'm not sure, though, how to place a figure in a
layer at the bottom and to prohibit text to go there.
