Dual page numbering

[John Sgammato]

Even those who are not cognitively impaired can get frustrated when a
unit has come out of order and it replaced in the wrong spot. In order
to keep the flexibility of removing or re-ordering units, there is no
ToC in the deliverable. I could give one to each teacher for the purpose
of getting things back in order, but absolute page numbers would be
quicker and easier. 
The bottom line: the customer asked for absolute page numbers, not an
appraisal of his cognitive development  ;-)

But if you already have a Something-3 and a Something Else-3, then the
trainers shouldn't _be_ "having trouble getting on the same page with 24
different page 3s..." -- unless they're cognitively impaired. 

You're being asked to kludge up a solution to a problem that doesn't
exist. I'd politely decline. But that's just me...
