Agreed, but I don't think one should be too constrained
by such considerations : if an option which wasn't
previously considered seems attractive after productive
discussion, then surely one should consider it ?

OK, thank you for the information.  What I /suspect/ I now need
is the "openany" option to \documentclass, and to augment the
\chapter macro (via \Chapter) to open recto.  I will then need
to take care of sections that end verso as before, since they
will need to be followed by a blank recto, but now that I know
about \value {page} from your preceding message, it should
be fairly easy (using \ifodd) to work out where one is in
the spread.
