Andreas,

you can't be serious here. Keeping a few whitespace characters until the 
end of a block is reached is completely irrelevant with respect to FOPs 
memory consumption and should not play even the slightest consideration 
when comes to choice of algorithm. If this is the only reason which 
stops you from doing end of paragraph line-feed-treatment during 
refinement then please revise the algorithm to do so.
