Ok. I think I get the idea. Presumably you would use a diversion trap at the physical page length, less the header an footer margins, to detect when the page diversion is full? But would that not get horribly complicated, when considering the effect of footnote diversions and other types of keep. I guess, if implementing something like this, we wouldn't be using it in conjunction with the `ms' or `mm' macros.
