Discussion on Wikisource seemed to suggest that it would be useful if there were a tag similar to <gallery> that allowed 4 or 5 images to be displayed in a VERTICAL gallery, rather than horizontally - allowing the images to run down the side of the page - particularly for documents such as a 5 page letter or something, so the original Gettysburg Address or whatever is uniform and "galleries", but running vertically along the text.
Fixed in r19721 (in a much more flexible way than the suggestion).
If you take a div as container, and put divs for the images inside of that and float these to the left, they'll automatically order themselves into a grid (or vertical strip if you make the container small enough). That way you don't have to keep browser width in mind. You do have to make sure the blocks are all the same height though. For an even better solution I've tried to make the image divs behave like inline elements so they would also line up if they aren't all the same height, but I wasn't able to make that work.
That's bug 3276. I'll respond there.
