Hi Urs,

> original breaks *are* part of the content so that's not a mixture.

I disagree: original breaks are, in my opinion, part of the original 
presentation (engraving) of the content. There are, of course, grey areas in 
the “content versus presentation” discussion — e.g., are clefs content or 
presentation? (lately I’m leaning towards “presentation”) — but I’m solidly of 
the opinion that dimensional engraving choices like line and page breaks, which 
were dictated almost entirely by the physical [hence presentational] properties 
of the original engraving, are presentation.

For the record, that still doesn’t change my opinion about your functions: They 
are worthy of existing, and could be a useful addition to the main distro.

Best,
Kieren.
