Forward Page-Number-Citations

[Jordan Naftolin <jo...@jtcsv.com>]

I've made some changes to a local copy of FOP so that I can use forward page-number-citations (without adding any additional passes).  I needed this functionality in order to add page numbers to the Xerces documentation's table of contents.  In the case of table of contents, my solution works really well.  However, it can pose problems if you try using page-number-citations embedded in sentences (because of the spacing issue).
My question is whether I should check in the changes I made so that people can at least produce tables of contents, or whether we should wait until we have a fully working solution.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Jordan

I think you should commit your changes and describe the problems using it in the text, 
so I can put this in the list of 'limitations'.
