Okay.  It would also be interesting to know, how it could work
theoretically -- but I can wait until the page feature becomes available.

I can rearrange the markup using Architectural Forms :)

The actual example goes like this (TEI DTD, PB denotes page breaks of
the original book):

    ...  text text text text text text text text text text text text
    text text text text text text text text text text text text text
    text text text text text text <pb n=2> text text text text text
    text text text text text text text text text text text text text
    text text text text text text text text text text text text text
    text text text text text text text text text text text ...

And the print output should look like this:


         ...  text text text text text text text text text text text text
         text text text text text text text text text text text text text
    p.2  text text text text text text |text text text text text text
         text text text text text text text text text text text text text
         text text text text text text text text text text text text text
         text text text text text text text text text text ...
