Yep, thats it alright, it snuck pat me because LineSpace and dyaLine are
part of the LPSD substructure and that confused me initially into thinking
that the documentation was out of kilter, I have made that change and it
appears to be correct. The other related sprms appear to be working
correctly.
i.e. pap entries
fKeep matches to keep lines together in the word paragraph dialog
fKeepFollow follow matches to keep with next
fPageBreakBefore matches to page break before
I have committed this change so widows and orphans should be ok now.

Looking at my tabstop assembly code I can see that I have implemented it
incorrectly, I have to merge the existing stops with the new ones to
either add and remove them, and I have flubbed this entirely. I will fix it
and commit this change later today, which by the power of timezones will
probably be before the time core abi wakes up.
