Along those lines, is it common in ocean navigation to try to estimate
set and drift (and I'd guess true wind and leeway, too) and factor that
into the DR position estimate?

I know that in aviation navigation we have to calculate the heading for
a given leg based on wind correction angle, but I've never seen any
reference to a similar allowance being made for that by our ocean-going
counterparts.
