How about the strength of the keep?
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#keep-with-previous
 and 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice4.html#keepbreak

Keep conditions are imposed by the "within-page", "within-column", and
"within-line" components of the "keep-with-previous", "keep-with-next", and
"keep-together" properties. The refined value of each component specifies
the strength of the keep condition imposed, with higher numbers being
stronger than lower numbers and the value always being stronger than all
numeric values.

Perhaps the keep-with-previous (or next) with a given strength for its
successor,
slightly higher or lower than the opposing keep.

That would add weight to the glue one side over the other?

That presumes that fop implements them. See fop literature for details
