[xep-support] Behavior of side floats does not appear to be correct

If I have two end-side floats within a sequence of blocks such that the 
second float specifies clear="both" and the vertical extent of the 
normal block contents is greater than the vertical depth of both floats, 
the two floats should be placed immediately one below the other, with 
the block contents intruded into, regardless of how the flowed content 
is organized into blocks.

However, I am not seeing this behavior. The behavior I get is that the 
second block, which occurs in the FO source immediately following the 
first float, is presented after the first float but positioned all the 
way to the start edge of the page and does not intrude into any text.

This has to be a bug because in the absence of clear="" on any of the 
blocks, the side floats should intrude into any flowed content they 
encounter.

In addition, an end float just always be positioned as close to the end 
edge as possible.

Cheers,

E.
