+// The intention is that floats should be definable from two places:
+// - layout files
+// - the "gui" (i.e. by the user)
+//
+// From layout files.
+// This should only be done for floats defined in a documentclass and that
+// does not need any additional packages. The two most known floats in this
+// category is "table" and "figure". Floats defined in layout files are only
+// stored in lyx files if the user modifies them.
+//
+// By the user.
+// There should be a gui dialog (and also a collection of lyxfuncs) where
+// the user can modify existing floats and/or create new ones.
+//
+// The individual floats will also have some settable
+// variables: wide and placement.
