We recently published an article which included several citations
containing multiple page ranges of different types. For example:

<element-citation publication-type="journal">
    <person-group person-group-type="author">
        <name>
            <surname>Cochran</surname>
            <given-names>DM</given-names></name>
    </person-group>
    <article-title>Type specimens of reptiles and amphibians in the
United States National Museum</article-title>
    <source>Smithsonian Institution, United States National Museum
Bulletin</source>
    <year>1961</year>
    <volume>220</volume>
    <fpage>i</fpage>
    <lpage>xv</lpage>
    <fpage>1</fpage>
    <lpage>291</lpage>
  </element-citation>

(note: this is actually a monograph rather than a "journal article",
though it's part of a series - is there a more appropriate
"publication-type"?)

The "fpage" and "lpage" elements with roman numerals are referring to
the introduction/front matter of the article.

Would it make most sense to do any of the following?

a) Use @content-type to mark the "front-matter" pages as extra
pagination, like this:
          <fpage content-type="roman">i</fpage>
          <lpage content-type="roman">xv</lpage>
          <fpage>1</fpage>
          <lpage>291</lpage>

b) Use "page-range" to show the full cited page range but only mark up
some of it individually:

<fpage>1</fpage>
<lpage>291</lpage>
<page-range>i-xv; 1-291</page-range>

c) Leave the "front-matter" page numbers out of the citation entirely.

Thanks,
Alf
