You need to know the final vertical height of the content before anything is rendered if you are to avoid a re-rendering artefacts. As noted above, that is often achieved by auto-layout tables, but has the effect that incremental rendering is completely frustrated. There are also applications in which infinite pages are generated dynamically.
