Comment 2 for bug 171651

Yeah, I guess there is a problem about the naming. However, I'm used to
calling it text wrap.
I'm not talking about wrapping at the end of line but wrapping around a
different object. Like if I have a text and want an image in that text
right in the centre, I don't want the text to be in front or behind the
image but _around_. OOo calls it wrapping. I've changed the subject to take
accound (at least a little) for the wording problem.
I think that this is what flowRegionExclude is kind of created for.

To make a margin, I would use that linked offset. I'm really starting to
love that, because it is so powerful. And in Inkscape we can have the
options: Wrap all frames and wrap specific frame only.
Also the text wrap can be edited independently of the object. for this the
link is just unlinked and the user can edit the transparent object (of
course transparent objects should always show a outline, when selected).
This former offset would still be tight to the 'real' object in some way so
that it is moved with that one and so that one can default back to just a
plain offset object for wrapping.

This might sound somewhat confusing for someone who's not using this so
often. So please feel free to ask any questions. I could create a mockup
(no wrapping, of course but just white object hiding the text) if needed.
