Yes, I have often thought this (although in my case it is for PDF output I want control).

You can do this in HTML without the need to create a new skin by using classes:

For example:

<h1 class="pageBreakBefore">

Then in skinconf.xml <extra-css> you put:

.pageBreakBefore {
 margin-bottom: 0;
 page-break-before: always;
}

To respect those classes in PDF will require changes in the Formatting Object stylesheets. I think this an excellent enhancement so I will add it to the issue tracker.

[JIRA] Commented: (FOR-402) Specify page breaks in XML source

Posted by is...@cocoondev.org.
The following comment has been added to this issue:

     Author: Dave Brondsema

       Body:
Try <section class="page"> with no extra-css required.  I think it'll work, but I don't have time to try right now.

This is an undocumented "feature" I put in so that wholesite.pdf could have breaks per-page.  If this works and is useful, we should make the class name more unique, and documente the capability.
