It seems to me that the following properties might be recorded:

        the total number of pages in a publication (be that a book,
        magazine, thesis, etc.)

        the total number of pages in a publication series (be that a set
        of books, a year's worth of magazines, etc.)

        the total number of pages in a cited article, book-chapter, or
        other section of a publication

        the unique single page of a cited section
        the start page of a cited section
        the end page of a cited section
        the page run (e.g. "3-4, 6, 8") of a cited section

        the unique single page of a quotation
        the start page of a quotation
        the end page of a quotation
        the page run (e.g. "3-4, 6, 8") of a quotation

At the very least, if we include some, but not all. of those in hCite,
we should name them in such a way as to make it possible, preferably
simple, to include the others in future.

Presumably, existing citation standards have already addressed the
issues of page number categories?
