Vincent,
don't hesitate to send patches if you want to clean up and better
document the code. I've recently wondered if it made sense to split
PageBreakingAlgorithm into two classes, for example, a
VerticalBreakingAlgorithm (base class and used by static-content and
block-container) and a PageBreakingAlgorithm (which adds footnote and
before-float functionality). That may make the code clearer.
