Is this meant to:
1) display something like a slide-show, ie different part of page that show
on their own in sequence?
In this case, I suppose Template Layout has something on this [1]
(and other markup languages provide more specific features about this)
2) display a regular web page as if it was on paged media (something like a
print preview or e-book)?
In this case, scrollbars are still needed, and I think we need to apply
@page rule to a non-paged media, because otherwise overflow is not applied
(the containing box automatically grows to fit the body content, unless
constrained by other means, that is not what we need)
