Comment(by richard):

 Just to note - doing this could cause a problem, because we're trying to
 ensure that the wdf is no greater than the document length; currently,
 we're clamping the wdf to the doclength, but hope that the clamp doesn't
 actually apply too often - if we had multipliers for the wdf, we'd be
 likely to end up clamping the resulting values quite often.  We'd also
 like to work out a nicer scheme for calculating the wdf, such that it
 doesn't exceed the doclength (see ticket #360).

 I think this ticket might be best closed as WONTFIX, unless we can come up
 with some cunning workaround.
