What is needed to align descriptions when the description text is 
wrapped? Items seven and thirteen below are particularly bad, and in a 
real document the error is significantly greater.

    \definedescription [Desc]
                        [headstyle=\tf,alternative=hanging]
    \definelayer       [vLine]

This looks a lot like an engine bug.  Maybe in the application of \leftskip.

no, it's a bit of stretch and shrink applied to distance so that we get 
a better linebreak ... normally one doesn't see these in a row

anyway, i'll add these keys

stretch=0,
shrink=0

to prevent this
