The zone's table rows carry their height in w:trHeight, which the collapsed
paragraph had no way to hold: a 2.2cm header band read as one line and every
page's body started 8mm high. The height its lines do not fill now rides the
paragraph's space above, which the band measurement already takes — and a
header draws that space too, so the rule line the cell carries lands at the
foot of the band instead of under the first line. A footer's space above stays
a measurement: it holds the ODF zone's own gap to the body.
Measured on one template: 15 parity reports against LibreOffice down to 6.
