Ah, I see - the existing "last" value isn't good enough, because it'll reflect the 'string-set' value of an element that *starts* on the page but is broken onto the next page; you want the 'string-set' value of the last element that was *completed* on the given page. Sounds pretty reasonable - I suggest 'last-complete' as a name. ~TJ
