Right, but that doesn't answer the question. Supposing that the list item market is like a previous sibling (I don't think it is, I think it's inside the principal box, but supposing there is an element that generates a non-principal box outside the principal box), I think Brady is asking if the text of the spec is enough to ensure the break doesn't break between the two boxes.
