Miklos knows more on the background.

I doubt.

'Left' and 'Right' is in various cases not factual correct indeed. It is a
concept however that is understandable.

The 'different first page' doesn't cater for the use case that Mike suggests.
It is a copy of the Ms Word behavior, basically not needed since we can define
a style sequence.

Do you have a suggestion for an alternative naming?
