I'm not understanding something in this whole thread: all the example
options seem to imply that 'h' and 'p' are somehow exclusive.  I have
always used [hbtp] (a sequence that essentially says: put the figure in
place as soon as you can), sometimes with and sometimes without '!'
before the h, and I have never had reason to complain about the
placement of figures!  

Well, for some journals/conferences, I've had to adapt this to [hp] if
they insist on figures always at the top of a page... but I always have
both h and p options.

Just my two ¢s...
