I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. Are you thinking of having 
multiple Events? With a BreakEvent, PageBreakEvent and PageTurnEvent we could 
tweak break-permission, page-break-permission and page-turn-permission 
individually. Is this any nicer than having an explicit 'forbid symbol, 
though?
