Paul,
I mean that side floats (float="start" or float="end") are sufficient
to obtain the layout usually used for marginalia. Marginalia are a higher
level notion; In the same way there is no "heading" in XSL FO, there is no
need for a separate element for marginalia, although addtitional features
and attributes may be desirable.
