It is probabably not the right time to discuss it, but in general I think  
instead of having an x-y-spacing matrix, usually just having  
before-x-spacing and after-x-spacing is sufficient, with every x-y-spacing  
being calculated as
max (after-x-spacing, before-y-spacing).  It might even be feasible to  
provide a #(setup-spacing-matrix) call that will do the appropriate  
calculation and set up a matrix (like we have now) from before/after  
settings.
