Furthermore, it might turn out that there are things that wrapfig doesn't do, but floatflt does. Then we need to convert to ERT. > If you still need a version change (for political reasons?) > please give me a hint on how I change the file format > and add the do-nothing-at-all conversion.

Note that this change can only happen in 1.6, not 1.5. Jürgen
