btw, this feature is pretty old, and therefore a bit crappy; for 
instance, the spacing in this example poem is funny (topskip) so i 
wonder if the attached file works better (maybe optional); can those who 
use paragraphs this wau test the attached variant (for taco: raises the 
result by strutheight)

(beware: i un-dutched the file a bit)
