I noticed that Mobipocket Creator creates an XML file in addition to the HTML when going from PDF to MOBI (prc). I'm not sure if calibre does this as I haven't looked for any of the intermediate files but I figure it works similarly.

Anyway, I noticed that the XML markup specifically specifies page containers (not sure that's the right word but they're tags that encapsulate everything that should appear on that page). So I'm wondering if calibre can use this information to know when to place the manual page breaks (assuming it too creates output files the same way, using HTML and XML as an intermediary. For that matter, I wonder why Mobipocket Creator doesn't do this already since it's the output from that program I'm looking at right now. (It did handle some of the h1-h3 tags better than calibre did though.)
