I don't think these should be combined. We need to strive to slice and dice the modules so that they are orthogonal to each other, so a regions spec needs to deal specifically with flowing content between boxes, and not how those boxes are laid out. > >> We have a couple of other elements to our proposal like text fitting and >> optical baseline alignment that would probably need to fit somewhere else as >> well.

I agree with the later mail that text fitting has more general utility. > That should be a separate spec. Same with baseline > alignment - this should be Line Grid or something like that. That sounds reasonable. Simon
