What makes me really depressed about the situation with pure-height, is
that we have fixed a number of "reasonable" bugs in this area
(intersystem begin/rest, overridden stem length, deprecated space,
padding of markup -- these are the ones that I did in the immediate
past, -- the slur fix from Joe yesterday, and I also recall a bunch of
other fixes in this area in the last few months), but we are not only
not closer to having reasonable trouble-free page layout, but starting
to look at page overfill/underfill problems which are very deeply
rooted in the nature of pure-height estimation.

So much so that I am starting to think that sacrificing the benefit of
linebreaking/pagebreaking integration in the sake of always running
real (non-pure) height, would be the path to having a reasonable layout
for our book.  That is, calculate the line breaks disregarding page
breaking; calculate tallness of all lines; then run the page breaking
algorithm.
