This is a bug in the TeX backend which is now fixed. This will be a
warning about partial support then. This is because not all FOs required
by the feature are supported (e.g. scroll).

This is true:-)

This is because the SGML backend only support the extension flow objects
for SGML elements, entities and so forth. So you shouldn't use
simple-page-sequence in a style sheet for HTML output for example.

We choose to leave James Clarks' DTD as is for backwards compability.

Ofcourse, the comforming way is to declare used features like above.
However, you may also leave out the features element and only get errors
for features that really are not supported (after the latest bug fixes).
