I've investigated this a bit and it's not very straightforward to implement. The problem here is that the top position of a float depends on the width of a float.

For example, a left float will be positioned alongside other left floats as long as it still fits. This means you first need to determine the width and if the float doesn't fit, reposition it below the other floats. This is doable with regions but it implies a multi-step layout and important changes in the code. Instead of computing the width and the positioning the float you:
- first need to estimate the top
- compute the width in the region at that top offset
- if it doesn't fit, move it below the other floats
- recompute the width at the new top
