Well, that's what I meant.  It's about one's definition of "pure-height".   
My working
definition of pure-height is "estimated-for-breaking-purposes height as  
opposed to
actual height".  I think this definition is more correct than "height of  
the bounding
box", because our "begin/rest" hack tries to improve the accuracy of  
pure-height by
replacing rectangles with Line_shapes.  Anyway, this is academic.
