Also, is there a particular reason you feel comfortable riding the upper "page" margins in ebooks? Is it a practical consideration or an aesthetic one? Or both? Or neither!?

I think that if I were concerned that the quote attribution might drift to a second page, or if the quotes were extremely variable in length throughout the book, I might kick the whole thing to a new page every time it appeared. The fussiness would be based on wanting to avoid as many weird splits as I could without having to deal with all kinds of little exceptions.
I let things sit kinda high for ebook because I want to avoid things landing south of visual center if I can. Since configurations are so variable, I figure "a little high" is a lot better than "a little low" because only the latter is more generally considered to be wrong.
