Such a function isn't available in the XSL-FO 1.0 definition ... arithmetic 
on and assessment of the contents of a page are not available ... all you 
can do is extract markers that show up on a page, and even that is 
limited.  You can extract the dictionary heads, but you cannot count the 
entries.

It would have to be some kind of extension.

I hope this helps.
