I don't think anything needs to be changed, but others may
disagree.  As far as I know, there are six \paper variables
that can be set in a \layout block and still work:

  line-width
  ragged-right
  ragged-last
  indent
  short-indent
  system-count

There's apparently no such thing as a \layout variable, but
\layout can accept the six \paper variables above.  If these
variables are changed so that they will no longer work in a
\paper block, I think bigger problems would arise.

I'm still editing the NR chapter on spacing, but I think the
version in the repo is pretty clear on this issue.  The
latest change adds line-width, which was missing, and should
show up in Reinhold's mirror in a few hours:
