I can see this, but I think that there is an important difference between avoiding a break /between/ (say) an image and (the start of) some text, and avoiding a break /within/ the text.

No? and I was interpreting this quite strictly : no breaking /within/ elements; I think that the scenario you are postulating is the avoidance of a break /between/ elements, is it not ? ** Phil.
