I give up.  As long as you refuse to answer the question I have repeated
at least 3 times by now, there is no implementable specification.

You have again _completely_ failed to specify what you actually expect
self-alignment-X to do over its range of values in the context of
\dynText .

Rather I suspect that it excites you to a degree where you again and
again and again forget what I am asking.  It's irrelevant to the issue
at hand.

It doesn't specify what the different possible values of
self-alignment-X are supposed to do, and your request was that
self-alignment-X was to be heeded.
