Just to add my own interpretation of what this would look like: I think Cyrille is worried that breaking one box into three will look unnecessarily complicated to the user. However I think it will be the opposite. Right now to the user it looks complicated. I don't think the user will realize that there is a three box interpretation. It would look natural (as opposed to the current situation of putting everything in a box perhaps on a different line, even though in the output it will be in-line). Scott
