page position aware formatting

One of the things I find frustrating when reading an electronic book is the inability of electronic formats to handle breaks in the text according to where the break falls on the page. In paper books, it is common practice to change the standard double carriage return break to a break with three asterisks (or some other thing, like an image, or a single dot, or a little squiggle) if it falls at the top or bottom of the page. It should be possible to define two different text breaks, one for the middle of a page, and one for if the top/bottom of the page, and allow the rendering engine to calculate the appropriate one to display for each break.
