I have idly wondered from time to time if one diversion after another could be created, each holding a page's content without any pages being emitted, and then the diversions printed in a different order to their creation. Memory bloat would be an obvious downside, but it's more of an experiment than a serious solution as re-arranging the pages is often straightforward and some post-processing already required for other reasons. -- Cheers, Ralph.
