Yikes...sorry, didn't realize it had this default.
I went with the y-parent visibility option, as I don't want to start writing 
convert-ly rules for inherit-x-parent-visibility.  This may be a good idea, 
though, for someone willing to take it on.

I agree that this is less than ideal.  Honestly, the only way I could think of 
would be to trigger system breaking before every page configuration evaluation 
(which would give us access to broken spanners).  But this would likely involve 
all sorts of rewrites that are the subject of another thread.

Patch attached - I just rebased the second one, as it is a minor change.

Lemme know what you think!
