  32 <para>Selects the type of float for margin notes.
 
  33 DocBook does not define a margin note element, so this
 
  34 feature must be implemented as a customization of the stylesheet.

  48 the float appears at the top of the page.  On some processors,
 
  49 that may be the next page rather than the current page.

  54 <quote><literal>left</literal></quote> or
