Hello, Joszef --
I'll send you a couple of sample objects in a separate email.

Nor do we. You could store the sequence triple in the object itself,
something along the lines of <myobject> <hasPageSequence> "1", but then
you'd have to query every single object to build a list of pages (not a
real big deal in the resource index, but still, a little clunky). And
what if you forget to scan a page, and your numbering gets all whacked,
and you have to go back and add a page later (something that occurs more
often than we would like to admit)? You'll need to update the page
sequence triple in every following page object.
An even more subtle problem crops up if your object has one page number
in one context (say, a plate in a book) and another page number in
another context (say, the same plate in an art exhibit catalogue): if
you were to create these two relations in the page object, how would you
express in a triple that I'm page 1 of book A, and page 3 of book B?
This is a use case which demonstrates that page sequences can be
considered a property of containers ("I'm a book, and I have this
content at position X"), rather than a property inherent in the page
object itself.
That would be okay, except that there's no way to express in a book
object's RELS-EXT triple that book object A contains page object A1 with
the attribute page sequence "1". You can do that in METS, though.
