[dbdoclet] Page breaks and orphan headings

Hi,

I'm polishing a PDF specification made with the help of DocBook and =
dbdoclet, and there are a few loose ends I need to tie up.

To get each class or interface description to start on a new page, I can =
put a "break-before" attribute for sect1 in my customization layer. =
However, the constant fields appendix is then messed up, and so is my =
part 1, the descriptive text. Is there a simpler solution than creating =
custom page masters?

There seem to be quite a lot of orphan headings in the PDF, for example =
a method name is often the last line on the page, and the method =
description starts on the next page. Bob Stayton wrote on the =
docbook-apps mailing list that it is a FOP problem (no support for =
keep-with-next). Can you confirm this? Any suggestions on another FO =
processor that handles this properly?

Best regards,
Jere
