Not really. I seem to agree with Jeremias here, in that iStartOn's _value_
is indeed the same type as that of the trait --Constants.EN_PAGE,
.EN_COLUMN...-- but, in the context of the BlockSequence this value is used
to represent what kind of (sub)page the first element should be layed out
on.
(IIUC: the break itself is already _there_ at that point, and iStartOn is
passed to handleBreak() to check if additional pageVP's need to be created
or the flow's column index needs to be incremented...)

So IMO naming it breakBefore would be misleading here.

I'm also very much in favor of this idea, however, that's all very easy when
it comes to the FOTree and the AreaTree, but it seems that whatever's in
between is left up to the implementation...

Cheers,

Andreas
