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.  Hakon explicit said :

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 ?
