Multiple page support in SVG 1.2 has stagnated. The explanation I got at LGM2010 is that they received too many negative comments. The spec is too complex to do simple things and not complex enough to handle more complicated needs... so it pleased nobody. If people push, Doug Schepers of the SVG working group said that a simplified version could be added to SVG 2.0.
