Yes, but the height _transitioned_ to is not necessarily the same as the
final height in the proposals that are being bandied about here. It's
just a guess based on a snapshot of the layout taken at some point in
time. The immediate question that arises is what point in time.

Nah, so far the proposals are pretty fail-ful in the simple cases, so I
haven't even bothered to think about the complicated ones yet. ;)
