I have been playing with the very interesting t-layout module
written by Patrick Gundalach. When looking at the visualization
thus presented I have these questions:
1. Why do the left and right margin areas bleed off the page?
2. Why are the margins offset a little from the main text block?
These offsets are defined as  leftmargindistance and rightmargindistance.

These aspects seem to be related.
