In XSLFO 1.0 the rendering of a cited page number is dictated by the page 
number formatting of the page sequence in which the cited page is 
found.  This cannot be overridden at the point of the citation.

This design frees the stylesheet writer from having to know the formatting 
of the page sequence ... consider that perhaps front matter might be 
formatted using roman numerals, yet one is in a chapter page sequence.  The 
citation will render the page number of the front matter in the front 
matter numbering conventions, thus guaranteeing the format of the number in 
the flow of the text will match the format of the number in the cited page 
sequence.

This matching would be very important (I would think) for the reader 
navigation ... why would you want to cite the page number differently than 
how the page you are citing formats its page number?
