+Page Flow: the page progression direction</h2>
+
+ <p>In paged media CSS2.1 classifies all pages as either left or right pages.
+ The page progression direction, which determines whether the left or right
+ page in a spread is first in the flow and whether the first page is by
+ default a left or right page, depends on the writing direction as follows:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The page progression is right-to-left if the root element's
+ 'writing-mode' is ''vertical-rl'' or if the root element's 'writing-mode'
+ is ''horizontal-tb'' and its 'direction' is ''rtl''.
+ <li>The page progression is left-to-right if the root element's
+ 'writing-mode' is ''vertical-lr'' or if the root element's 'writing-mode'
+ is ''horizontal-tb'' and its 'direction' is ''ltr''.
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>(Unless otherwise overridden, the first page of a document begins on the
+ second half of a spread, e.g. on the right page in a left-to-right page
+ progression.)
