Got your point and agreed 100% on the issue of confusion. But sometime
we need to refer text and for that page number is important. See how
nicely page numbers displayed in left panel for TUGDelhi's inaugural
report by Amitabh Trehan. To remove confusion it may be (if possible)
to have page numbers on screen as S1, S2 etc and for print version P1,
P2 etc automatically at the same touch of button.
IMO, one can have printed version from source for his convenience ,
but for discussion and reference purpose on sould refer to only screen
version as it is "Online tutorial" and released official as such.
