Hi Andreas,
This isn't really the "accessible" solution you're looking for, but if
you want to avoid submitting a form but retain information between
pages, you could try to set a cookie.

Making all the Page Numbers form buttons doesn't really look good, if you

I'm going to chime in with "why do you want to do this?" too, I'm afraid.
