    Most of my output is in A4 portrait mode, but I would like to be able to
    output some pages in landscape mode and some pages on A3 landscape.

    Using xsl from Arbortext Styler I can produce landscape content (a rotated
    table or a rotated graphic and caption) within a portrait page (as defined
    by the positon of the header and footer) but the XEP produced pdf has two
    drawbacks:

     i) if the content is longer than one page the overflow material is lost,
    and

    ii) the page is displayed in portrait mode, so the table appears sideways
    (i.e. English text runs from bottom to top) on the screen. Using Arbortext
    Composer to produce the pdf, the pdf has additional pages to hold overflow
    and the page is shown in landscape mode, making the content easier to
    view.

    Is there any way of producing landscape pages (or landscape within
    portrait, viewed onscreen as landscape) and A3 landscape pages that
    revert back to A4 portrait at the end of the current element? The
    requirement to issue overflow pages automatically is a 'nice-to-have' that
    could be dropped, at a pinch. (In a way, what I want is a nested pageset -
    but that is not allowed in xsl-fo).
