Let's put it like this: it has been considered, but the technical
implications are beyond reasonable. After all, the output isn't corrupted,
it's merely on the wrong horizontal line, and you'd have to cut'n'paste it
at some point anyhow. The Output-Files have all kinds of rules that need to
be handled, and though I've got no clue about it all whatsoever, I trust the
POV-Team who have more insight.
