Joerg, Keiron, et al, This is why I have harped on the theme of lookahead. The layout design simply must accommodate it, and must be able to preserve as much information as possible from the initial layout attempts to minimise the work of subsequent attempts. I have, as I have said before, made some initial notes on aspects of this. It is why I believe that a something like a layout tree is needed as the bridge between FO and area trees.
I don't pretend to have any actual design worked out, but the broad outlines of a solution to this have to be worked out first.
