That brings up the need for another XSL feature: collapsing identical
adjacent page number citations.  My documents are full of references that
look like:

  This module continues on pages 17, 17, 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, 21, 22, 22, 22,
  23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 24, 24, 24, 25, 25, 25, 25, 26, 26, 29, 30, 30,
  30, 30, 31, 31, 32, 32, 33, 33, 34, 38, 38, 39, 40, 40 and 40.

It would be nice if there were a way to fix this.
