Foppers,
I've
added a page to the Wiki in an attempt to put all of our previous discussion and
what documentation I can find regarding overconstraint, anomalous documents,
etc. It's located at:
I'd
like to make this part of a general documentation of layout design in general,
and hope to be a strong facilitator in its development on the Wiki. I
welcome anyone who's had anything to say about overconstraint or other anomalous
conditions in the past to start putting their ideas up on the page. With a
little work, I think we can start incorporating a design for overconstraint
resolution into the HEAD layout managers. I see the rudiments of that
system already forming, so I think we've got a good starting
point.
