Woops. Blasted Outlook.

Actually, I'm not sure how you're doing this, but I thought the attribute tag had to be located before the content, which means that in my example of the order of the elephants being reversed, you will let your break before the word Serengeti. So you'll have to test for children as well (since you don't want the break after the parent if the last section has children), and for children you'll have to test whether or not their parent is last, and whether or not they are last.

How about test="position() = last()" in the "section" template? You might
also need to test whether the parent is a chapter instead of another
section.
