Re: [docbook-apps] re-setting the initial page number of a document

There is no single parameter to set the starting page number, because more 
than one page sequence may need to restart it.  So there is a template 
named 'initial.page.number' in fo/pagesetup.xsl that can be customized to 
set the initial page number for different element types.

If you need to pass a value as a parameter, then define a new global 
parameter in your customization layer and use that in your customization of 
the initial.page.number template.
