Dan,
If you have a foldout element you could certainly move all your foldouts to the back of the book without rearranging their order in the source: during the regular traversal, suppress its appearance (perhaps including a reference instead: "See foldout on page X"); then after the regular page sequence, if you have any foldouts, start a new page sequence with the new page size and place the foldouts there. To do this "right" would require some features XSL 1.0 doesn't provide (TMK), such as "constraint-based formatting" ("make the page big enough to hold this content"). Further developments in the XSL space may give us these, but 1.0 is designed for "content-driven" (not "layout-driven") formatting, and this pushes the line considerably. I hope that helps. Maybe other FO practitioners have other ideas or neat solutions.

I need to output PDF.
