Nice one Brent
To help take care of those widows and orphans try adding
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('pagebreak')">
<fo:block break-after="page"/>
</xsl:template>
to custom.xsl
Then you will be able to force a page breaks in your output using
<?pagebreak?>
Let me know if there is anything else you need.
DocBook provides an element for this:
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/beginpage.html
I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work already
with Norm's stuff.

The question is, do what want all our level 1 sections to start a new
page? I've tried this already by modifiying the
section.title.level1.properties attribute-set, and I don't think it's a
good idea. Some level1 sections are very short and it makes a page that
is primarily blank.
With the processing instruction, I could go through and mark places
where I see orphans, but I would have to do this _right_ before the
release, as any changes made earlier in the document can change where
orphans appear, etc.
