I looked at that function and am not sure if it would be useful or
not. However, a Google search on it did lead me to within-page. The
article warned that FOP (which I am using) did not support this, but
found me a free download of XEP.
When I tried to run my stylesheet, XEP failed on the current-time()
function from XSLT. I could get along without that, but then it
failed on the base-uri(/) function,
You are not obliged to use the XSLT processor in XEP ... just use any
XSLT 2.0 processor (I have great success with Saxon) to produce your
XSL-FO from your XML, and then pass the raw XSL-FO to XEP for formatting.
which is necessary, so that XEP seems dead unless there is a way to
get XEP to recognize these functions. I'll look around for an XEP list.

Thanks again, even though my problem is still unresolved.
Your original post wasn't clear enough for me to understand, even
with your bit at the bottom of the message.

I am compiling a journal index. The output is generated via XSLT and
XSL-FO. I have been looking for a way to deal with widows and orphans
in XSL-FO, but all of the information I have found seems to be focused
on breaks *within* an <fo:block>rather than *between*
different<fo:block>s. My problem is that I only want to end a page if
the processor has started rendering (or has completed rendering), a
specific <fo:block>,
That to me sounds like a keep constraint, which correlates with your
own discovery of the "within-page":
keep.together.within-column="always"
... is what I tell my XSL-FO students to use. If you have only one
column then you get the page behaviour you need, and if you have more
than one column then you don't get a column break in the middle.
Note that you should not do:
keep.together="always"
... because that sets the property at the line level as well.
I hope this helps.
