Ok.  I think I get the idea.  Presumably you would use a diversion
trap at the physical page length, less the header an footer margins,
to detect when the page diversion is full?  But would that not get
horribly complicated, when considering the effect of footnote
diversions and other types of keep.

I guess, if implementing something like this, we wouldn't be using
it in conjunction with the `ms' or `mm' macros.
