As I've been fighting battles with TextFlow and BlockFlow, I've been
seriously doubting the is-a relationship of them to Figure. They're more
"kinda-works-like-a" rather than a strict "is-a". Is it the intention to
make them fully "is-a" Figure by implementing setBackgroundColor() (which
doesn't work on TextFlow), setBorder(), etc?

I'm just trying to get a feel for the intention of these little bastards
(get the pun? =D).

background and foreground colors are inherited by children, so even if a
block doesn't display either color, it's children might.
Borders will eventually work with blocks as they do pages. Special borders
will hopefully work with "inline" figures.
