Reponse to this since it was not.
No, probaly not. First one because it doesn't really make sense to have different algorithms for such similar format.
And frankly, the ADE pages is not that great because it use the xhtml file size, wich lead to count also indent space and the tag itself. It not that much, but can be better.

Is realy a shame that we can use the metadata page count of DOCX (and probably ODT if so).
On one hand, these file types are a hybrid between static like PDF and fully reflowable like ePub, so their page count
has a sens... but since we cannot be reliable on it, yeah better to processes them as fully reflowable.
