I tried an experiment today. Pootling along, and applying the brakes gently. Sometimes OK, sometimes that sinking feeling (in more ways than one). Applying the brakes hard results in effective braking, with no sinking of the pedal (which then feels "solid"). It's as if fluid is sometimes leaking somewhere internally (however, there's plenty of fluid in the resevoirs) - the brakes are not spongy at all. It's a mystery. Oh, if I park, jam the brakes on, then get out and try to push, there doesn't seem to be rolling resistance. If the pads were U/S, then I don't think that would result in the peday slowly sinking when braking. Um.
