This is what I though you were proposing. I would absolutely turn this
off (but that is just a personal preference).
It's interesting that you mention that you are trying to model a
physical page. I would kill for a paged browser... but everyone seems
to think they are either impossible, useless, or at the very least,
impractical.... I don't consider them any of the above, of course.
