actually it was something that came up when talking with Hermann Zapf
years ago: he suggested to just vertically scale the text area (i
actully implemented that an hour later) ... his opinion was that only a
very small percentage of readers will notice (at that time we did
experiments with hz, the expansion in pdftex: in fact nobody noticed
that too, real interesting was that texies commented on all kind of
things related to how tex is supposed to work: a clear demonstration
that the average user knows what the virtues of tex are but not really
sees it)

How can I use the vertical scale feature to prevent widows and orphans?
not now ... it was a mkii experiment more than a decade ago
Would it be possible to have it in MkIV?
Many thanks for your help,
probably but not today (and i need to think about it first as it might
have side effects
