But equalizing length of glue _is_ what TeX does. (To get the centered
part of a header to center in TeX you either have to force the left and
right fields to zero width (in which case they'll overprint if they get
big) or you have to pre-allocate some fixed length so that the fields
linebreak:

ie

\rlap{left head}\hfil center head \hfil \llap{right head}

or

\parbox{.3\textwidth}{\raggedright left head}\hfil
\parbox{.3\textwidth}{\centering (?) center head}\hfil
\parbox{.3\textwidth}{\raggedleft right head}
