linecorrection is older, textdisplay newer and both are mainly meant to 
position boxed content (like images) in a way so that spacing looks 
acceptable ... they are vboxes with spacing around them so not meant for 
e.g. section heads or whatever text; it's for images, framed stuff, 
maybe bTABLE etc
