Rather than inventing a new header for every kind of
content attribute you might want to declare in the
header about a particular media element, how about registering
a "pages" feature (using RFC 2506), using the Content-Features
header (draft-ietf-conneg-content-features-02.txt), and the
media feature syntax (RFC 2533) for:
Content-Features: pages=10
to note a 10-page document.
This requires no overloading, allows interesting combinations
of feature expressions, and has a clear extension mechanism
which doesn't require creating a new header every time you want
to say something new.
