I have always thought that being able to support this would obviate the need for Inkview to handle zip bundles of files. If every Document was a collection of pages, it would be very easy to advance through them.
I guess there would be a need to decide whether the GUI shadows the shape of the document and its pages (Desktop--->page view), or just provides a view to the current page (Desktop->document view). In the first case, we would need to change our idea of "active document," but we wouldn't with the second.
We could assume that a loaded document has a pageSet with one page, but might need to switch it off during a save, to make it loadable for some programs.

This question came up a couple times this past week. SVG 1.2 (which we don't yet support) provides a method for doing multiple paged documents:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG12/multipage.html
Example:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.2">
<pageSet>
<!-- here is the first page --> <page> <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="20" fill="blue"/> </page> <!-- here is the second page --> <page> <rect x="100" y="100" width="20" height="20" fill="red"/> </page></pageSet>
</svg>
