Total agreement to everything Keiron just said.
However, that's not to say that we can't work up something that meets your
needs for 'keep-together' on fo:list-item. It's usually possible to take
care of a specific; as Keiron says it's the general case (making keeps work
everywhere that they are supposed to) that is rather more of an obstacle. I
have some ideas in regard to how you might want to tackle the problem you
describe and will elaborate this evening.
