Open a large document several times and wait. Observe the total page count at
the status line. The writer keeps changing the total page counrt for a long
time. Finally, when the number SEEMS stabilized, you will see that the page
count is different each time, although the document is never modified!

This creates huge problems in shared documents: You cannot talk about page
numbers, as the page numbers can change by up to 6!

The problem is also there when a pdf file is created out of the odt file: If a
feedback comes based on the pdf file, when you open the original odt file, you
will not understand what's the discussion about: The text would have jumped to
another page.

Quite a frustrating experience.

Desired:
1. Temporal consistency: The algorithm must produce identical formatting even if
the document is opened several times and closed without editing anything. 

2. User/PC-level consistency: If the same shared document is opened by several
users in different machines, its layout on EACH page must be EXACTLY identical,
as if they are looking at the same document.

3. Indicate when the algorithm has stopped shifting the text around. 

An example is a red LED in the status bar, which turns to green when the
formatting is over.
