Hm, this approach has its drawbacks: it could lead to lots uf
*unwanted* pagebreaks, namely if header + all of the following text
don't fit on the remainder of the page. But I've thought of something
else (see next post).

It's not a bug - it's an unimplemented feature ;-)
The people at Apache FOP are aware of this and full keep-with-next
support will be implemented... one day.

See the Standard Compliance page at
  http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html
more specifically:

Yes, the Eclipse stuff - but also the logo stuff - shouldn't be in
there. But the Eclipse info is very useful; could you make it an
<article> so we can add it to the "Documentation for Firebird
docwriters" book? That would be its rightful place.

As for the logo stuff - is it ready to be published yet? I thought
there needed to be some official OK first (from admin group and/or
FFmembers).
