I guess we'll keep calling these "plan A" and "plan B", although neither is a complete plan and there is nothing mutually exclusive about them...

As I noted before, here is a set of use cases for paged view that regions are designed to support: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/page-view 

I tried to include alternative solutions based on "plan B", but towards the bottom of the use case list I am really not sure how to do that.

Hakon, do you think alternative options are possible in more cases than I saw? Can you suggest something to compare?
