This shows that the topic is most difficult. It needs a thorough consideration
about the rationale and use cases.

I think the best example is a letter with the envelop at the beginning. But
even here, it does not really matter if there is a blank page or not because
printing requires manual operation: one print command for the envelop, usually
on the manual tray, and one print command for the rest of the document. And
even if everything is printed in a single step (envelop data will be clipped
from its sheet and glued on a "standard" envelop), the automatic blank page
will synchronise the "letter" with duplex printing. And with single-side
printing, it is easy to remove a blank sheet.

So, presently without any reflexion, it looks like it is a matter of design by
author if pages are continuously numbered or not. I don't see a general
pattern.

Anyway, if somebody uses Left Page page style, then the page is definitely on
the left side. Same for Right Page. The question arises for "non-lateralised"
page styles but subject to the general document properties (and presently you
can't inform Writer about single/duplex).
