Yes, I agree. In any case, before we change anything can we agree on a
description of what we currently do?
Here's a second attempt:
The table_len will always be greater than the sum of the tuple_len,
dead_tuple_len and free_space. The difference is accounted for by
fixed page overhead, the per-page table of pointers to tuples, and
padding to ensure that tuples are correctly aligned.
In the absence of further comment I will proceed along these lines.
