What if to allow page-break-before to accept percentage values?
So if for example you have
h1 { page-break-before:75% }
then if h1 element is happened to appear in last 3/4 of the page
it will go on the next page.
I think that percentages are somehow better than length units -
you will not be tied with particular paper size.
