The problem I see with this is that, if I read it
right, it would put whatever stuff that may be in
between <div>s, like <milestone/> tags, out in front
of the <div>s instead.

I did have an idea of my own, though I'm not sure how
fragile it is. <div*>s are not allowed outside
<front>, <body>, or <back> tags. So, if those tags
always render as <fo:page-sequence> . . .
</fo:page-sequence>, then making it so that something
like "</fo:page-sequence><fo:page-sequence>" is output
at the beginning of every top-level <div> except the
first should do what I want. The main catch that I see
is that one has to do something ugly like <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/fo:page-sequence&gt;</:xsl:text>,
etc., since XSLT doesn't allow ill-formed XML inside
templates.
