Objective: Generate a .pdf with FOP, showing the <fo:page-number/>
reverting to 1 on the first page for each BIRD.
What I get now: The output .pdf displays page numbers running
consecutively from 1 at the beginning output to the end of the entire
output.
Environment: Win, Apache's FOP-0.20.4 tool, generating a .pdf from an .XML
file and an .XSL file (see samples below), .
XML input: Each DOCUMENT/ITEM tag contains one BIRD tag with other data
pertaining to that BIRD. Different ITEMs can contain the same BIRD value.
For each FOP transformation, I don't know in advance how many different
BIRDs will occur in the XML, nor how many <ITEM>-level tags will pertain
to the same BIRD value. I'd like to assume I don't need to restructure
the XML to reach our objective (correct pagination).

Note appended to the above xsl-fo:
.pdf output looks the same when I enclose the

<xsl:for-each select="DOCUMENT[ITEM/BIRD =
$uniqueBirds]"><xsl:for-each>.
Desired .pdf output:

sequence should display

COLOR = White
