iText and z-order

Hi

I am writing a layout editor and I need to output pdf files.  I have got 
iText working OK (translating StyledDocument to iText is not as trivial 
as I would like).  However, there is a more serious problem.

 From the docs, examples, and mailing list messages it seems that there 
is a design decision that images cannot be placed over text.  I am 
currently working around that by clipping the text with the bounding 
boxes of the elements on top of the text (which is a pain).  But even 
then there will be a bug.  Images with transparent backgrounds will have 
the text still over them.

Are there any proposals for iText to control the z-order?
