[docbook-apps] selective page breaks with subsections


  (one more in what will undoubtedly be a number of questions as i
churn out some 300 pages of manual over the next few days.)

  how painful/painless is it to do the following?  i want to 
have a page break before sections (*that* part is easy, based on
the attribute-set "section.title.level?.properties" -- i've
got that working nicely.)

  however, in some cases, i'd like a section level 2, inside
of which i'll have a number of level3s, and i *don't* want to 
have the first level 3 jump to a new page since it's *immediately*
after the level 2.

  consider one example from my manual:

  2.5  The format of UNIX commands
    2.5.1  Arguments
    2.5.2  Options
    ...
  2.6

  note how my discussion on command formats is divided into subsections,
the very first one of which is "Arguments".  now, while i want each of
2.5.2, 2.5.3 and so on to break to a page, it's silly to have 2.5.1 do 
that since i'm just *starting* that section.

  is it reasonable to try to be doing this?  or is there another way
i should be looking at this semantically?  that is, when i start
that new section 2.5, i really should have some content before 
i start subsection 2.5.1?
