I open an ebook in Sigil and correct a couple of typos. Depending on which compression engine and settings I use to recompress the files, the ADE page numbering algorithm will give different results -- you do recall that ADE counts compressed data. My ebooks page numbers will no longer agree with those shown by a unmodified copy.
Pretty much the only way to have page numbers that would reflect the viewable characters would require the ereader to open the ebook, uncompress and render the data for all the page files and then calculate page numbers using a currently
non-existent standard for a page size.
