Thanks for starting this thread.
My mind first went to the stack implementation you mentioned in the WIP.
However, I didn't think of the problem that arises when you have the
multiple options pages that eventually lead back to the Install page. Even
taking that into consideration, I still think the standard stack behavior
would be a good default behavior.
One option that might allow the sequence to progress more naturally
in certain cases would be to add a "ResetSequence" attribute to the
<ChangePageAction /> element. If this attribute is set to "true", then it
would pop all pages off the stack until the page specified by the "Page"
attribute is reached (that page is then displayed).
So, in the case you describe in the WIP, page "S" (the second option page)
would have this authoring under the "Next" button:
<ChangePageAction Page="Install" ResetSequence="true" />
Then, the "S" and "O" pages would get popped of the stack and the install
page "I" would now go back to the welcome page "W" the next time
<PreviousPageAction /> is encountered.
