[xep-support] A3 pages and Landscape Pages

Most of my output is in A4 portrait mode, but I would like to be able to 
output some pages in landscape mode and some pages on A3 landscape.

Using xsl from Arbortext Styler I can produce landscape content (a rotated 
table or a rotated graphic and caption) within a portrait page (as defined 
by the positon of the header and footer)  but the XEP produced pdf has two 
drawbacks:

 i) if the content is longer than one page the overflow material is lost, 
and

ii) the page is displayed in portrait mode, so the table appears sideways 
(i.e. English text runs from bottom to top) on the screen. Using Arbortext 
Composer to produce the pdf, the pdf has additional pages to hold overflow 
and the page is shown in landscape mode, making the content easier to 
view.

Is there any way of producing landscape pages (or landscape within 
portrait, viewed onscreen as landscape)  and A3 landscape pages that 
revert back to A4 portrait at the end of the current element? The 
requirement to issue overflow pages automatically is a 'nice-to-have' that 
could be dropped, at a pinch. (In a way, what I want is a nested pageset - 
but that is not allowed in xsl-fo).
