From the names of the variables I would expect setting both of them to 
true to give simple and minimal (old style) spacing (ragged bottoms) and 
setting raggedbottom to false to try to fill the page evenly (new smart 
style).

Actually on two examples I have right now this seems to be true but I 
believe I have seen many examples in the last week (2.3.22) where I 
didn't seem to be able to consistently control the spacing.  If I get 
another problem example I will post it.

I now see that Jefferson's example works the way I would expect when I 
reduce the minimumVerticalExtent values to #'(-6 . 5).  Then it fits on 
one page as he says he wanted.
