While we're in speculative mode, I'll mention a principle that might affect a future release:
It looks like break-related items of all sorts, including "break-visibility", should have more than the 3 categories of before break, after break, and no break. Then might should distinguish levels of break, including staff reappearance and page break. If I find the right sort of callbacks suggested by Kieren (on my own, or because one of you points me to them), I might try to package them a bit in some handy functions.
