the 3.0 version, as put on PLaneT, doesn't actually work for me. Specifically I found that layout was not backtracking for some reason. I replaced it with the version from the 2.x series.

This should be fixed in version 3.1 now. There were two fundamental flaws in the layout algorithm:

- it wasn't first trying to fit on one line, it was trying that second

- the internal "cursor" is only advanced on TEXT nodes, so that's where it should test whether the text doesn't fit on the current line (and therefore needs to backtrack)
