Thanks for the advice.

I tried that, didn't get it to work with FOP 0.95, then found 
<http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/MultiColumns.html>, which points out 
that I need to set the property on the fo:block elements contained in 
fo:flow; and also that space-before/space-after gets ignored.

So it seems either I'm stuck with having a page break where I don't need 
it, or a major restructuring of my XSLT...
