while reading through the PDF to ISO-9075-1 (SQL99), I noticed
something I had never seen before in a PDF: the page numbers displayed
by Acrobat matched exactly the ones in the document ... the beginning
was even numbered with roman numbers and the actual content started
again at "Page 1". From a quick research it seems that this
functionality is in PDF since Acrobat 4 (that should be PDF 1.3,
right?) and is most likely called "Custom Page Numbering". It would be
amazing if ConTeXt/LuaTeX supports that too - especially if you
produce documents for screen reading.
Unfortunately I don't have access to the PDF Specification currently
to give you more info - so I don't even know for sure how that feature
is officially called.
Anyway, I hope that idea/suggestion/wish finds positive reactions ...
and I somehow hope that it isn't actually too hard to implement :-)
it's named "Page Labels" (never seen before, thanks for the pointer), in
the PDF Reference 5th ed. it's in section 8.3.1, the example 8.3 there
typed into \pdfcatalog{} works right away, so no luatex engine
modification needed.
