I never include page counts in our project estimates.  We base ours on
topics covered, and let the pages fall where they may.  We don't even
bother to count them unless we have to fill out the pagination sheets for 
a print vendor.  The only times I recall number of pages enteirng into 
one of my project estimates was when there was a *limit* on the number 
of pages that could be in the documents, based on allowable volume in 
the product packaging or weight limitations.
