Just on Friday we were looking into whether FOP supported feathering, for
moving over a medical textbook to FO (which is looking nice, by the way.)

So definitely +1 for feathering, at least of paras and para lines. I don't
know that I like the idea of "justify-by-modding" though: it seems to have
a notion of a process that can sits post-pagination and fiddles with
values. Is that specifying a method?
