Sorry for poor expression. I meant that in FOP and XEP, there is a
straightforward way of getting the number of pages formatted. As far as I
remember, PassiveTeX does not do pagination itself, delegating it to TeX;
therefore, reporting the number of pages depends on the underlying pdftex
machinery, which may or may not provide the correspondent interface at the
script level - I simply don't know, and therefore avoid making assumptions.

It is only one of possible solutions; I have another one that uses
fo:marker/fo:retrieve-marker; but it's a lot clumsier. Do you support markers
already?
