Yes, when I was writing my answer, it suddenly felt very familiar but 
since it was late at night,
my brain didn't realize to look for the email thread or possible LSR 
entry. Thanks for the link.
Just a comment on the LSR entry: I wouldn't expect many people to be 
able to understand
exactly how the different methods work, since there's no mention on how 
the default alignment
is done. Also, it doesn't mention the obvious drawbacks of Solutions 1, 
2, 3 and 5, that you need
quite some trial and error to get the numbers right.

Does anybody know why this LSR entry isn't included in the Snippet List 
of the GDP
documentation. Since it only works under 2.11, it certainly would be 
more relevant to
have there than in LSR, for the moment.
