Perhaps, but the problem of CHARRANGE being insufficient to describe the start 
and end of rendering for a table remains.

Not a meaningful one - too many things depend on environment 
(LOGPIXELSX/LOGPIXELSY, font availability, font rendering differences due to 
different font engines, versions of font engines, configuration of font 
engines).

Some will, maybe, but with this change some of those apps will be improved in 
because they will not get stuck in a loop. EM_DISPLAYBAND is somewhat 
anachronistic though and apps get no significant benefit from using it over 
rendering with EM_FORMATRANGE. In theory EM_DISPLAYBAND may improve 
efficiency of printing to some types of printers, in practice the difference 
is not worth worrying about.
