Ok, better example attached :-)

I have attached a file and pdf that illustrate all four scenarios; none of  
the above solutions seems to work, but maybe I need to tinker with the  
def's in test-strut.tex.

For my purposes Hans' approach is the most useful (if we can make it work)  
because otherwise it makes me have to do more copy-editing of paragraphs  
and I might miss some (based on Taco's observation it is probably not wise  
to make this global).

Best wishes
Idris
