Well it seems to me, I am not the only one, who became a bit confused
about the paging of packets question. Altough it seems pretty obvious
after one has it figured out, perhaps somebody could modify the
documentation to contain an explicit sentence (or paragraph) about
multiple packets in a single page. 
The paging (ascii) example does not contain such a situation, and there
are no examples anywhere about this (in the specification).
It's not a big issue, but as somebody who has coded an ogg codec from
scratch, this was the only part which was not totally clear after
reading the specification.
