I think it should be relatively simple to rearrange PSLM to set up the
right page before the call to getNextBreakPoss(). What I'm wondering,
though, is why the breaks are handled during getParentArea using
information in Traits on areas and not through BreakPoss instances
during getNextBreakPoss() stage. Does anyone know? There are no such
traits described in the spec that I could find in a quick fly-over. And
IMO it doesn't make sense to do it this way. What am I missing?
