The markup is valid, but the meaning is not. The order IMAGEBLOCK 
HEADLINE TEXT will break your outline in the following context:

Let us have two CEs, an ordinary text element and then text with image. 
The image(s) do have captions, alt attribute and perhaps even long 
description. That will give us the following outline:

1. First headline
1.1 Text of first CE
1.2 Images of 2nd CE
2. Second headline (introducing the images and the text)
2.1 Text of second CE

If the images only make sense in the context of the second headline, we 
have produced nonesense here. And if you surf by headlines (as 
screenreaders and also others might do) you miss the image(s) including 
their alt-attributes and long description.

Prosit, Uschi
