Seems to me like we should remove the SeparationItem grob if there's no way
to create one.  And we need a convert-ly rule to eliminate any
SeparationItem overrides.  Let's clean it up properly, instead of leaving
detritus around.

(There, now I've used my big word for the day -- detritus.  Perhaps I should
have said "cruft" instead of "detritus".)
