Re: [CSS 2.1] Section 13.3.3 Allowed page breaks inconsistent

The CSS WG decided _not_ to change the spec in response to Melinda 
Grant's comment[1] about not being able to override a parent element's 
'break-inside' with a 'break-before' in a child. (The case that a 
'page-break-inside: avoid' is set on an element with large children is 
rare and then the author probably _meant_ to avoid breaks between the 
children. There is, however, an argument for creating a scale of 
"better" and "worse" places for page breaks, but that requires more 
values for the properties and is something to consider for CSS3.)

Comments.")



For the CSS WG,
