RE: [docbook-apps] Bad page breaks and <beginpage/>

[Jeff Beal <jeff.beal@ansys.com>]

This is a limitation of FOP.  It doesn't support the keep-with-next or
keep-together properites of the XSL-FO specification.  BTW, <beginpage/>
doesn't insert a page break.  The definition of the <beginpage/> element
indicates that it refers to a page break in a former (print) version of the
document.
