The meaning of the word 'Keep' does not necessarily imply that
meaning. Witness my confusion and Larry's confusion as to what this
thing does. 'Force' is probably better.
FYI: The \vspace* and \hspace* ensure that the corresponding space
always appears, regardless of where it might be. The un-*-ed versions
permit LaTeX to make a judgement call: if the space happens to
overlap a pagebreak or linebreak, LaTeX will omit the space.
\vfill is equivalent to \vspace{\fill}, IIRC. So, VFills will
occasionally disappear on you.
