Thanks for your input and the helpful summary. The stance in the second
paragraph sounds like a sensible one.
Given the desire to use the marginfigure environment has popped up a few
times, I wonder if an ox-latex guru can suggest a user-end customization
that would enable the use of that environment. I suppose an alternative
is Rasmus's proposal of an :environment attribute for figures [*] that I
mentioned in a sibling thread.
