A quick reminder to anyone who hacks AbiWord files by hand.  As the comment 
at the top of every AbiWord file suggests, you do this at your own risk.  
We've been trying very very hard to not break file format compatibility for 
features which are fully supported in the UI. 

However, we make *no* such guarantees for experimental features like this. 

Specifically, if you add page numbers by hand to your files, you *will* have 
to hack those files again sometime soon, because we know that we're going to 
change the way that feature is implemented before it shows up in the UI. 

Caveat hacker.  ;-)
