I see use cases for this and Opera's implementation support it. You
often want menus or mastheads to remain fixed on the page while the
main content is paginated. For example, NYT implemens this in their
skimmer:
http://www.nytimes.com/skimmer
The menu on the right and the headline of the article remains, while
the body text of the article is paginated.
I'm not sure we need pages within pages, though. Hmm.
