I don't think that \emergencystretch could sensibly = have any
relation to \hsize; it certainly shouldn't have a = relationship of
    E=3DcH
(E=3D\emergencystretch, H=3D\hsize, c=3D an arbitrary = positive
constant) since the need for a large E increases as = H
*decreases*.
    E=3Dk-cH
(k is a large positive value, c as above) would not = be much
better since excessively large values for E for small = H would
give terrible results. I have yet to see any = application where it
makes sense for E=3Df(H) for *any*  f.
