Actually if you know that a particular paragraph will contain the image
then it shouldn't be that hard to create a combo class.  Paragraphs
currently know how to do varying line widths so the flowing round bit is
relatively easy. In Platypus the problem is mainly how to do
splitting/combining.

It's a long weekend in the UK as Monday is a bank holiday. Let me think
on this further.
