It is not clear, what the new property does.
* A frame can contain nearly a whole document including headings, 
paragraph, tables, graphic, or sections.
* The content of a frame may float to a linked frame.
* The height of a frame is often fitting to content.
* The frame content is sensible to the compatibility settings regarding 
spacing.
* "Register true" might be enabled.

So what is "vertical alignment" specified to do?

Exists an attribute for this in ODF?

Kind regards
