RE: Controlling page breaks in printouts

<BLOCK>
</BLOCK>

Otherwise you would need Microsoft-Word-type attributes such as "keep 
lines together" and "keep with next item", which I don't like and in 
any case seem to be less in the spirit of HTML.


-- Unless this BLOCK attribute somehow manipulates the actualy display of the data I'm not sure it should be considered as part of the standard.  It appears as though right from the beginning HTML was not meant for being printed out.  To start defining printing sepcification would almost seem as a waste of time.  Exactly how does one print out a Java applet or embedded movie?  And Tables could a be a real problem, for many of them extend well past one page.  BUT, if browsers supported such tags as BLOCK for printing only, it would'nt make much difference to display if you threw them in or not.
