"This behavior is correct" can be stated only if you change the  
_definition_ of the correct behavior.  The previous behavior is still  
documented as being correct.

Cf.
<URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/aligning-objects#-Self_002daligning-objects-in-both-directions>
with
<URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/aligning-objects#-Self_002daligning-objects-in-both-directions>

Both effect and description in 2.19 are now bad.  This was a sweeping  
change that will affect a number of tweaks that were done as still  
suggested in our documentation, in the NR chapter about  
self-alignment-interface.

And any redefinition of "this behavior is correct" that "leads to behavior  
users probably won't expect" in a major user-tweakable interface does not  
sound like a good idea in first approximation.

How can we converge better with documented behavior and user expectations?
