This is a common problem with XSL FO 1.0, met in other areas
as well. Table header "Table 1.4, continued" if the table
is continued from a previous page, a mark at the beginning
of a block (as in newspapers "see page 1"). XSL 1.1 is going
to add functionality some of the cases, but not in general
way.

Since one realizes it now that breaking a flow object (at
line or page boundary) is an event which often requires
special actions (presentation entities to be inserted),
submitting elaborated use cases to xsl-editors@w3.org 
could help at this early stage of XSL 1.1.
