That is one scenario which could have an effect on how many people
actually read the document. It is a particular nuisance for print; it
is also one on mobile.

With neither being high per se, I suggest the cost of problem is
higher than the cost of solution, and I thus hope this is worth
addressing.

I don’t have anything else to add :)
