[xsl] RE: XSL-FO: reset fo:page-number to 1 in each section of .pdf, ba sed on XML input

I appreciate your suggested solution, but, as I understand it, it does not
solve the problem.  As I understand it, this suggested solution requires XML
input with differently named, pre-defined tags for each section of output
(i.e., along the lines of Dave Pawson's wonderful XSL-FO book:
<frontmatter></frontmatter>, <prefandtoc></prefandtoc>,
<chapters></chapters>, and <backmatter></backmatter>). In contrast, my XML
input has identically named <ITEM> tags, each containing 1 <BIRD> tag.  If
two or more BIRD tags contain the same contents, their ITEM tags belong to
the same section in the output.  Also, I don't know in advance how many
<BIRD>s belong to each section of output, and I don't know in advance how
many sections of output I'll generate from the input. That's why I can't
know in advance how many <fo:page-sequence>s I need inside the  <fo:root> of
my .xsl input.

Please correct me if I have misunderstood your suggestion.
