Hi David,

Ah, the semantics cop is on the beat.  ;)

Let me put it another way: Using David’s engraver (which he graciously sent me 
off-list), I am happily adding manual breaks EXTERNAL TO THE CONTENT, and this 
has (for me, anyway) eliminated the need for hacks like \tempBreak, 
\originalBreak, \draftSkip, etc.

I just think it — or something like it — should be vetted and [the 
improved/approved version] included with the regular distro.

We should be encouraging best engraving practices, and simple 
functions/mechanisms like this would allow us to in ways we cannot right now.

Best,
Kieren.
