Still the old layout problem

[Giuseppe Bilotta <gip.bilotta@iol.it>]

Hello,

I come here to re-issue the problem with the default layout: as it
is on my machine, the layout is slightly off-centered: the first
half centimeter pops out of the left margin; issuing a horoffset
correction of .5cm fixes the problem, but as it can be seen by
\showframe the whole page is shifted, so that document editing
with this debug feature shows that unpleasant black line running
down the left margin.

I understand that this layout has to be kept the default for
backwards compatibility reasons, but I think that a new layout
which fits nicely and correctly on the default A4 paper should be
provided, and made available by an appropriate command
(\usenewlayout ?), something alike the macro that corrects the
original design "flaw" of swapping left and right
justification/raggedness.

As an option, named layout could be added (or are they already
there?), with a \definelayout command et similia (\uselayout, a
change in \setuplayout, etc.
