Initial Comment:
(From contextgarden.net)

The \placefigure macro should be extended to combinations like
    \placefigure{top,left}
or
    \placefigure{bottom,outer}
The reason for this request is that we use ConTeXt a lot for typesetting books from "arts and humanities". 
There we often have to place a lot of (more then 100) figures at "fixed" positions like top-outer and bottom-inner, wrapped by text. 
I guess it's not a trivial feature to be implemented in TeX's paragraph processing, but I know it might be worth the effort: ConTeXt's way to deal with fonts and text is so superior that it should be also accessible for disciplines that besides text also rely on images - as the arts and humanities do.
