20.177 fo:break-after / 20.178 fo:break-before
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFFICE-3751
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3751
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Formatting Properties
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.3
            Reporter: Bart Hanssens
            Priority: Minor


ODF 1.2 has 20.177 fo:break-after and 20.178 fo:break-before
But the specification mentions (in 20.177 fo:break-after)
"This attribute shall not be used at the same time as fo:break-before."

So I'm wondering: why isn't it allowed to set both a break-before *and* a break-after ?

That would be useful for dividing books into "PART 1", "PART 2", or for pages  Containing "This page is intentionally left blank."

The same effect can be achieved through other means of course, but neither CSS 2.1 nor FO seem to disallow setting both break-before and break-after,  so I suppose there is a specific reason why ODF does not permit it ?
