I'm pretty concerned about that. Using the old (standard) para-
graph it is already sort of impossible to get it right automati-
cally and in all cases as I've outlined before. To me it is very
distracting to see text with headlines at the bottom of a frame
etc. (or is this a different problem?) and I'm surprised people 
don't seem to care.
