When it comes to breaking a document into multiple pages for
navigation/display, I'm quite surprised no one has mentioned the use of
javascript as a possible solution to this problem.

Javascript does not meet ADA 508 accessibility requirements for the most part. As use of web bugs and the vulnerabilities they introduce becomes more known, the percentage of people who leave Javascript enabled will go down. In fact all client side scripting is often turned off by savvy users with any concern about security.

Even as a professional I lose patience with sites that take too long to load with my DSL or wind up partly broken on browsers other than IE. I don't go back or never even bother looking at them in the first place.

Look at the W3C accessibility guidelines. They are a little more strict than 508 requirements but they will give you the issues to consider.

Best,

Allen
