The only thing that really bothers me are so much different vertical
differences which show up in almost every document I ever write. MKIV
consistently takes more vertical space, so no matter what document I
try to recompile, it always ends up with more pages (and some weird
page breaks) when processing it with MKIV.

\startcantresistmode

the lineheight relates to the ex height and as in mkiv we don't have
the tfm limitations (those 16 values of ht dp) we have slightly
different spacing

Something I find very annoying is variable interline spacing, if I've,
for example, a line with some Arabic words vocalized I get some times
too much white space above it that it almost looks like an empty line.
It makes the page look like crap. Is there a way to force fixed
interline spacing?

Can you give an example?

turn turn grid on .. but even then, we need some nice heuristic for determing the right ht/dp ratio for arabic (can be set up)

I have some nice texts that illustrate a standard balance, but I'd like to see what Khaled has in mind exactly before I comment further...
