I've heard this being dicussed as coming from the opposite direction.
Define the layout areas, then identify content to 'fill' them, including 
continuations, which is basically
the same model as the DTP model, except that is manual.
  Max and Paul have given it a fancy name, which I can't remember.

Is it an 'extension' to the xsl-fo way of operating?
Perhaps area specification via a gui, capture that, id each area, then do 
the select and target.
fo:flow with id X goes to areaID 14, 34 then 56.
fo:flow with id Y goes to areaID 2, 4.
etc.
