[xep-support] conditional page break?

Is there any way to implement a conditional "need"
page break in XSL-FO and XEP?

I know about keeps, but sometimes it is hard to code
a stylesheet to handle all the possible combinations
of elements and block nesting to get the right keep
working.

What I'm looking for is an FO instruction that says
"if I don't have x inches of space left on the
current page, break to the next page".  This is
like the old troff .ne instruction.

Is this possible?
