But it really is:
like a footnote, the float definition can be inside a

You can even see the difference:
* when you put the float inset into its own paragraph, the following
text is indented (or separated by vspace), as it starts a new paragraph.
I would argue that this is a limitation/bug of latex. Really.
This would be moot if the paragraph had some kind of special markup, like:
\begin{standard}
...
\end{standard}
or even
\standard{...} if you prefer.
That would allow to leave space for new declarations outside of paragraphs, or
for placing a float without affecting near paragraphs.
I think this is all the more true of \section, which is really an
environment, in the sense that it has a defined beginning AND END. I can
well imagine a system under which sections, and other document
divisions, were insets, and....
OTOH, lists (like itemize) are by default nested inside surrounding
paragraph (in the LaTeX source) while separate paragraphs in LyX.
You need to insert a "--- Separator ---" or another empty
paragraph to have the first paragraph after a list indented.
the same is of course true of lists. Think of how this ought to be done
in XML. (Yes, I know, <h1>. But I've got the same problem with <h1>.)
