Thanks Robert, My apologies, I wasn't specific enough. My question was intended to point towards CSS issues of using flow in the way under consideration. So I should have written, "what are the CSS pitfalls, if any?" I accept, of course, there are other issues, especially accessibility ones, but they are outside the scope of CSS and can perhaps be conquered by other means including adequate content placement.
