But do you really think your page breaks will look good on *my* printer? What if I use a slightly larger font than you, so my pages will have just a little less text than yours? Then I need an extra pagebreak just before your hardcoded pagebreaks, making every second page only contain a few lines. That is what I would call "looking all wrong". A style sheet with page break *rules* (like "not after an <h1> header", "preferably between paragraphs") could be useful; hardcoded page breaks don't make any sense in an device independent environment.
