The point is that it is not a container and can not be, since the images 
and the transcribed text are in different hierarchies and could not be 
-- with your gravestones, you do not have the problem, but you will have 
heard of it anyway...  I also do not find the convention strange to look 
for the previous <pb> or <lb> for certain kinds of processing, something 
that is all over the place in my xsl scripts; this simply takes 
advantage of the first O in OHCO.


This reminds me that we might want to consider changing the "break" in 
the gloss of the elements pb, cb and lb to "begin" to reinforce the 
notion that it now is general practice in the text encoding community to 
put these things where they start.

All the best,

Christian
