Now that I think about it a bit more, it may make sense to expose the 
concept of baseline, ascent and descent out through the FlowFigure.  If all 
FlowFigures on the same line are aligned on their baselines (this is my 
assumption) then allowing one to override the baseline (and the ascent and 
descent accordingly) would be great for vertically aligning ImageFlow and 
generic Figures (if the appropriate wrapper is made).

Good idea?
