Resending: Page numbers in RFCs questions / preferences

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

Sent this question originally only to rfc-interest mailing list, but never
received a reply. Resending now also to wgchairs.

Thanks for any replies to my questions or suggestions what i could try to
do to get more page numbres back into the non-PDF output formats.

Cheers
