Keep and break conditions apply to a class of areas, which are typically
page-reference-areas, column-areas, and line-areas. The appropriate class
for a given condition is referred to as a context and an area in this
class is a context-area. As defined in Section 6.4.1, page-reference-areas
are areas generated by an fo:page-sequence using the specifications in a
fo:page-master, and column-areas are normal-flow-reference-areas generated
from a region-body, or region-reference-areas generated from other types
of region-master.

A keep or break condition is an open statement about a formatting object
and the tree relationships of the areas it generates with the relevant
context-areas. These tree relationships are defined mainly in terms of
leading or trailing areas. If A is a descendant of P, then A is defined
to be leading in P if A has no preceding sibling which is a normal area,
nor does any of its ancestor areas up to but not including P. Similarly,
A is defined to be trailing in P if A has no following sibling which is
a normal area, nor does any of its ancestor areas up to but not including P.
For any given formatting object, the next formatting object in the flow is
the first formatting object following (in the pre-order traversal order)
which generates and returns normal areas.

Break conditions are either break-before or break-before conditions.
A break-before condition is satisfied if the first area generated and
returned by the formatting object is leading within a context-area. A
break-before condition depends on the next formatting object in the flow;
it is satisfied if either there is no such next formatting object, or
if the first normal area generated and returned by that formatting
object is leading in a context-area.

Break conditions are imposed by the break-before and break-before

context of even-numbered page-reference-areas or odd-numbered page
reference-areas, respectively; a value of column imposes a break

break-before or break-before trait imposes no break condition.

Keep conditions are either keep-with-previous, keep-with-next, or
keep-together conditions. A keep-with-previous condition on an
object is satisfied if the first area generated and returned by
the formatting object is not leading within a context-area, or
if there are no preceding areas in a post-order traversal of the
area tree. A keep-with-next condition is satisfied if the last
area generated and returned by the formatting object is not
trailing within a context-area, or if there are no following
areas in a pre-order traversal of the area tree. A keep-together
condition is satisfied if all areas generated and returned by
the formatting object are descendants of a single context-area.
