Reading the ODF 1.3 standard, I see not that it imposes no restriction on which
subelements of [<style:footer>, <style:footer-first>, <style:footer-left>,
<style:header>, <style:header-first> and <style:header-left>] exist in
<style:master-page>. So I don't see why couldn't just a single
<style:footer-first> be present, without <style:footer>. Moreover, *each* of
the subelements may have style:display attribute, allowing to *remove* (hide)
any of them *independently*, thus allowing to e.g. have left headers, but not
have right headers; or have all headers but on first page. Here I don't mean
different content of the said headers/footers, but their presence on the page,
taking space. Also, there's no requirement that *when* there is different
header on first page, there also must be different footer on first page (and
likewise for left/right), it looks like possible combinations are very numerous
(listing only for headers; footers would have the same set, without any
dependencies on header selection):

1. No headers
2. Same header for all
3. Header only on first page; no header on the rest
4. No header on first page; same header on the rest
5. Different headers for first page and the rest
6. Headers only on odd pages, no headers on even pages
7. Headers only on odd pages, no headers on even pages and on first page
8. Headers only on even pages, no headers on odd pages
9. Headers only on even pages, no headers on odd pages and on first page
10. Different headers on odd and even pages
11. Different headers on odd and even pages, no headers on first page
12. Different headers on first page, odd pages, and even pages

Basically, each of [odd pages, even pages, first page] may independently be
enabled and disabled; even pages and first page, when enabled, also may be
independently same as odd pages or not.

And most of those possibilities need to be implemented yet (including
independence of headers and footers, when one may check "same left&right
headers", but "different left&right footers").
