I'm sure we'll do a lot of that, but even those of us with working 
practices most removed from conventional press rooms appreciate the need 
to get whatever 1.3.5 becomes before going off on tangents that enhance 
niche usability.

No.  But one of the first things I wanted was the ability to move page 
contents as new guides were applied to a page. I didn't even bother to 
suggest it as especially 14 months ago there was more urgent work in 
hand.  Now that somebody has raised this issue I'm happy to support the 
suggestion though.
