Automatic care for widows and orphans is discouraged in the
serious typography, because impossible. It usually involves some
stretching of in-between-lines space. Other means of the
resolving issues (aka Knuth's algorithm) are not 100% successfull
(compare with TeX which doesn't always break lines correctly), so
some w/o remains.
