The problem is that there has to be enough room on the line for the 
label. But one does not know where to break the line before knowing 
which line should have the label on it. That makes things more difficult.

So I anticipate that having the label on the first line is easier 
because it is deterministic. But I may be wrong and there may be 
properties of the line breaking algorithm that makes life easier.

Then I have the `small' issue that an inset in my model is
- an INSETBEGIN row element (the little corners on the left)
- one or more (when the inset is broken) INSETROW elements that point to 
a row of text
- an INSETEND row element (little corners on the left)

The spacing has to be added to the INSETBEGIN/END element and actually 
depends on the INSETROW element (is the text there smaller than the 
label string?). Therefore, getting the spacing right may be tricky. But 
I can make it work eventually.

I am not sure whether what I write makes sense to you, but it helps me 
to write down these ideas.
