Perhaps something could be added to the Source Description, rather than
the Notes Statement? That might be a better place to encode references
to page scans, and then standard linking mechanisms (link, @corresp,
whatever) could be used to align them to pages.
"The <sourceDesc> element is the seventh and final component of the
<fileDesc> element. It is a mandatory element, and is used to record
details of the source or sources from which a computer file is derived.
"
e.g.
<sourceDesc>
...
<images>
<image corresp="#pb1">
<graphic ... />
</image>
<image corresp="#pb1">
<graphic ... />
</image>
...
</image>
</sourceDesc>

Though there's a considerable extra burden to encoders that way, I
think.

I'm not sure if I understand that ... could you clarify? I'm sorry if
I'm not going about this in the correct way ... I am new here :-)
