+KNOWN PROBLEMS
+--------------
+
+The indent macros from the typesetting macro set may not always
+perform well in conjunction with the document processing macros,
+especially when documents are set in columns. Mostly, this is the
+result of inadequate testing. There are only so many "who'd want to
+do this anyway?" scenarios I can think of on my own.
+
+Epigraphs at the bottoms of page may sometimes run exactly one line
+deeper than they should. The alternative (from my point of view) is
+to have them run 1 line shorter than they should. The problem stems
+from the fact the epigraphs are leaded differently than all other text,
+and there's only so much adjusting that can be done with the whitespace
+surrounding them to get them to bottom align. Since stylistically,
+epigraphs should never appear at the bottom of a page/column without at
+least some running text beneath them in order to make sense of the role
+they play in page layout, this not likely to be fixed for some time.
