Exactly! This is why i wrote "very hard" because I believe it to be 
possible as well ;-). But when? And when will it be water-proof so that 
really every single TYPO3 user from 3.5 onwards can just plug it in and 
all her/his old imagblocks are brand new css-div/spans?

You mean <div> = <table> and <span> = <td>? In this case I see lots of 
display: blocks and floats. What do you do about clearing? This is risky 
business because a clearing element sometimes clears not only within its 
parent but in the vicinity as well. That means some image-elements could 
bump against a floated menu-div nearby in some scenarios (at least i had 
this effect sometimes with css_styled imgtext)...

But please post some more information on you plans it sounds very 
interesting!!

Yes! But why has it got to be a clone of the old IMGTEXT? To have the 
same functionality like the classic IMGTEXT you will have to write quite 
elaborate CSS and this will be much more prone to specific user settings 
within their templates/css/layouts.

This was not my whole sentence ;-) I ment less flexibility for the time 
being plus NEW functionality => more flexibility in the end.

It is indeed! I'm very interested in your plans Stefan and if you like 
can offer some helping css-hand in case you go for it :-). Cheerio,
