Very true. Imagine the worst case: Someone puts a
 "(See page <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="blurble"/>)"
into the text at page 1. The formatter has to allocate some
space for the unknown number, lets say a "n" space. The
referenced block happens to end up on page 99. The
preallocated space is not sufficient, extending this space
could cause reformatting of all pages, which is already bad.
Furthermore, the reformatting could push the referenced
block to page 100, thereby providing another problem.

I have no idea how an interface able to deal with the problem
above could look like.

Have fun
