In this document, ``in-line'' means ``occuring within a line of text, like a character or character string, not causing a line break.'' This term is sometimes used to refer to objects such as an illustration around which something like a paragraph is wrapped; here that arrangement is called ``in flow.'' There is no provision yet for indicating that an object is in flow, but one could make creative use of the Role attribute to do so.
A related point: formal objects have titles (with the possible exception of a formal equation, which doesn't require a title); informal objects do not. That an object is informal does not mean that it is in-line: these are two different characteristics.TBS: full-time and part-time (synopsis) inline objects.
