`element.style.margin = '2.5rem 0'` on every section — 40 pixels above and below every band that the
real page does not have. It was there to make room for the band's label, which sat above it.
So the preview overstated the spacing of every page in the site, on the screen whose entire purpose is
to show what a page looks like. It was reported as "there is a lot more space between the logo and the
text in the admin", and that is exactly what it was. I had looked at the component tools, found them
absolutely positioned, and said nothing the editor draws takes layout space. The section margin was two
lines above the thing I read.
The label moved inside the band it names. It is hover-only, so overlaying the first line for as long as
the pointer is there costs nothing — and lying about the layout costs the preview its whole point.
What remains is absolutely positioned or an outline, neither of which takes space. The add-section
zone keeps its margin: it is the editor's own element at the end of the page, spacing only itself.
