Years ago I was required to put a page break before certain sections
in a document.  I used the dbfo-need processing instruction as
described at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageBreaking.html.

I believe I set the required height to something very close to the
available page height.  Each time it occurred, the following content
would be pushed to the next page.

     <?dbfo-need height="7.5in" ?>

Good luck.
