Interesting, because it may confirm the idea of illustrations serving as a border of the same order as the normal folio border would. Actually it may turn out that the text should be parsed not line by line (as it is parsed now) but instead in a multi-column fashion - or even in some more complicated fashion with pre-defined text blocks being scattered across the folio space according to a certain procedure - as the perceived baseline jumps discussed in the other thread may suggest.
