I've removed the CompressedLayout.xml documentation file entirely and replaced the XML include references in CompressedLayout.cs with direct XML documentation comments. This follows the standard practice for obsolete APIs that are being prepared for removal. The change is in commit ec15a24.

The parameter documentation is incomplete. It should specify what happens when the value is false, similar to the original XML documentation that mentioned both true and false cases.

The return value documentation is not descriptive. It should specify that it returns a Point value representing the headless offset, even though this is an internal API.
