He's a strong proponent of riving knives. He's on some standards
subcommittee and I think if he had his way, riving knives would be
standard equipment on all table saws. With that said, he recommends that
people fashion something that does the job of a riving knife.

How does he deal with the varying knife height as the blade height is
adjusted?

A riving knife adjusts its position as the blade height is changed. It is
curved to fit the shape of the blade and maintains a consistent distance
from the blade, as opposed to a splitter. It's also set up so that the
height of the riving knife is slightly less than the blade height at any
time, permitting non-through cuts.
