Setting widows and orphans to 1 is the logical equivalent of removing them. If there are no widows/orphans defined, RMSDK defaults to 2. To keep things simpler, I set this in the body css instead of having it in multiple locations. However this will not guarantee the same number of text lines on each page since chapter headings, section breaks, spacing between paragraphs can all cause a gap at the bottom of a page where a line will not fit.
I prefer that possible gap to having a page that is solid text with no extra spacing between elements.
