[TYPO3-dev] css_styled_content makes wrong markup

I already got the point before but actually this is a problem of the
layouter and not a problem of the tool.
The image positioning options of the "Text w/image" element are layout
options that give the layouter the possibility to order the elements in a
certain way.

If you think that the "beside left" option of the image position is not
correct from your semantical point of view, you might:

a) not use it at all
b) use it together wih separate headlines

CE1    HEADLINE
CE1    TEXT
CE2    HEADLINE
CE3    IMAGEBLOCK TEXT

IMHO it's up to the layouter/editor to care about semantics anyway.

And there's another good reason to not change this behaviour by default: It
would break the current layout of existing installations, since people would
be forced to change the CSS for all their sites that are using one of these
options.

So if you really want to change it, it must be in the context of a new
compatiblity version.

Just my 2 cents
