First, let me say that I *like* the general approach.  However, my
initial reaction to the use of the term "page" for this purpose was
rather negative.  I feel it overloads the idea of "web page" but with a
drastically different meaning.  So, I am hopeful that a better term can
be found.  I don't know what the best term would be, but perhaps
"attribute set" or "attribute description" or "rendering guide category"
would be closer to expressing the essence.
