"How about ... insisting that body text paras cannot be more than one line." Was this a serious suggestion? I presume not, but the context doesn't give me any clues.

As far as I can remember, inconsistent spacing has not been an issue in the books and reports I have seen that have line numbering. The text line spacing is kept constant, there is no interparagraph spacing, and any extra leading added around headings is kept to a multiple of the line spacing. Seems to me that part of the point in having line numbering (ie, helping to locate items quickly on a page) is lost if the position of the page numbers varies from page to page.
