Thats it - the perfect solution. Do it during the page build. I take it the 
custom tags have access to the form beans?

Not if the field-to-page map is being generated dynamically during the page 
generation.

With this type of implementation you can treat your form bean like a single 
page form and just let the presentation layer deal with displaying the 
errors and moving the pages.
