Yes, I want to get as much as possible out of the page. Maybe even use a
simple frame:

 ______
|      |
|      |  like this but bigger
|______|

(maybe)

(very maybe)

...without causing wrapping problems...

Then there's the page break thing... Can't use HTML...  :-\

And different sizes of paper used in different countries (ie USA vs the
rest of the world, as usual).
