You cripple the format by moving orientation out of the game. Keep in mind
first/title page followed by text or left/right page sequences. Those use cases
are very common.

Besides, we are "limited" to the open document format. Your documents have to
be pixel-perfect across platforms and applications.

> Mission 1: rotating page 2 in a 4 page document

I admit that rotating a single page is a tough thing for Benjamin. But let's
thing about a shortcut for him, rather than changing the flexible and powerful
page style. It includes to find and change first paragraph by adding a break
before with a new page style and to find the last paragraph and add a break
with default PS after (has to be the first of the next page actually). This
sounds feasible and could be extended to "selected pages" so p2..4 can be
"directly formatted" as landscape. Mike, what do you think?
