Sorry, my memory is limited. This has been a very long thread.

The main issue that started this was the Gnus summary and similar
buffers, which present table-like summary of a list of items. Dired
was barely mentioned, and I don't remember prompts or mode lines
mentioned, except as in passage. Please remind me what was the
problem with the mode line.

Yes. To reiterate, I think doing this unconditionally is the easiest
way, since any kind of conditions will not be able to be 100% accurate
without lots of complications for the users of the relevant APIs.
It's quite possible that 100% accuracy will be entirely impractical.

I have no idea what is this about.
