Yup, you’re making a great point here that I forgot to mention: Authors are currently trying to avoid these kinds of orphans by inserting non-breaking spaces between the last two words on a paragraph or heading, either manually or via scripting. This is awfully hacky and there *really* should be a better way to do this.

Clients often expect this to be fixed; in one project we had to read the text from the backend and manually replace all spaces after such words with non-breaking ones via JS on the client side. Such a thing doesn't influence performance in a good way so I'd be glad if we could just do it with plain CSS.
