While I'm at it...

1.  It looks like more of the page-centric drawing needs to be tweaked for 
Normal View.  For example:

  - the left margin is too big
  - the top ruler should probably be full-width, not page width

  - the page separator should be full-width, not just page width
  - there seems to be a one-pixel erasure problem immediately below it

  - forced page breaks should draw with a different full-width separator, 
    and should *not* leave the extra white space

  - there shouldn't be more than one screenful of white space beyond EOD
  - there should be a fat little underbar character for the EOD run
  - etc. 

2.  Likewise, there are more such problems in Show Paragraphs mode for 
Normal View:

  - the crop marks should definitely *not* be drawn
  - the page / column borders should probably not be drawn
  - etc. 

3.  More generally, I got the impression that there might be an emerging 
consensus that Normal View should be a single continuous vertical column 
with *zero* page-oriented cues.  Is this still the goal?  We seem to be 
heading in this direction on a tweak-by-tweak basis, but getting columns to 
layout vertically instead of side-by-side seems like more than a tweak.
