To answer the question in your subject: no ... but you don't need to from
what I interpret from your post.

Not sure what you classify about markers as limitations.
I am producing a report that is broken down into classrooms, each
classroom has a number (n) - there are a list of names under each
classroom. Occasionally the list of names runs over onto the next page of
the document. I need to add the text 'Classroom (n) Continued' at the top
of the next page only if this happens.
The design pattern is as follows:
<static-content ...>
<retrieve-marker .../>
</static-content>
...
<xsl:for-each select="classroom">
<block>
<marker ...>Classroom (n) Continued</marker>
<block>...</block>
<block>...</block>
<block>...</block>
<block>...</block>
</block>
<block>
<marker ...></marker>
</block>
</xsl:for-each>
That way the marker is ready to be used if a page breaks in the middle of
the blocks, but if all of the blocks fit, the following marker "clears out"
the "continued text" and it doesn't show at the top.
I hope this helps.
