The NST is wrong as it is not respecting the default and is forcing a value of 1 for both orphans and widows.
The fix is to add "widows:1; orphans:1" to the body tag.

I'd prefer it to do 1 if not specified. I had previously _removed_ widows and orphans as it was seen as pointless.
And also the NST has an option that states "publisher defaults" and I'm pretty sure that that is the thing does the margins if you don't select it. On my NST I have the margins set to minimum. That's the whole shebang. It has 3 levels of margins I selected minmum and I imagine that that sets it to 1 line of text between the epub and the status bar.
publisher defaults setting seems to e the middle one that proably does 2 lines as it's the "default" setting for reading but i always do minimum margins as I see it as a waste. Plus ereaders are based upon how many page refreshes are done it makes sense to me to decrease them.

And as I had said it's ~3-4 lines of text beteween the bottom of the text and the start of the status bar at the minimum.
NST the default setting has the space between last line of text and status bar as follows Default setting is ~2 lines. It has 3 options for margins(top,bottom,left, and right together). Minimum setting is 1, highest is 3. So it _is_ doing what's proper non-default setting reduced the blank lines as part of the standard since it was overridden by user configuration.
