I have an example from a book which I am currently typesetting. Sections (which are like small chapters) are required to open recto, but the design of a normal section page is derived from the design of an opening section page (or vice versa) and it is therefore undesirable for a section to finish verso and the next section to open recto on the same spread (because the two designs are too similar, and when seen on opposite sides of a spread look bad). Thus a section that finishes verso must be followed by two blank pages rather than zero. Philip Taylor
