Subject: Re: [docbook] Advice needed on annotating page breaks...
Stuart, Before DocBook 5.0, the <beginpage> element was the one to use. But, <beginpage> didn't make it into 5.0 because it caused some confusion (I think there were folks who thought it was intended to define a page break for downstream processors, which is not the case). The DocBook 5.0 howto http://docbook.org/docs/howto/ suggests that you use a processing instruction instead, so your idea of using a processing instruction sounds to me like the way to go.
