Am I misinterpreting the purpose of fbreak?

[David Waite]

I don't know if advancing p is the correct option all the time though,
because (in the example, and unfortunately in the actual machine I'm
trying to create) I trigger multiple breaking actions on a single
transition. For example, the two character JSON document "[]"
currently should have the following actions triggered by my machine:

main:
  StartDocument - fbreak; (returns Event.Document)
  ParseArray - fcall array;
  StartArray - fbreak; (returns Event.Array)
  EndArray - fbreak; (returns Event.EndArray)
  Return - fret;
  EndDocument (eof) - fbreak; (returns Event.EndDocument)

If I remove the StartDocument fbreak, would incrementing p on break
work?
