This is the problem with working with tools where the authoring environment
is bolted onto a single rendering engine. Word, Frame and Interleaf all have
their specific formatting capabilities, and doubtless they all have their
specific weaknesses.

In a markup-based system, this would be a problem for the person writing the
formatting routines. Once it was solved, it would be solved forever for all
users. Authors would never have to worry about it. Similarly, those setting
publication specs would not have to worry about the capabilities of
particular DTP packages.

Formatting is for machines, not human beings.
