Your issue, shown below, has been given the number 39
> 2)The last example in the example block is faulty:
>
> @page :left { @bottom-left-corner { ... /* left page numbers
> */ }} @page :right { @bottom-right-corner { ... /* right page
> numbers */ }} @page :first { @bottom-right-corner { ... /*
> empty footer on 1st page */ }}
>
> This will only produce an empty footer if the first page is a
> right page. As noted in Section 3.6,
>
> "Whether the first page of a document is ':left' or ':right'
> depends on the major writing direction of the document and is
> outside the scope of this document. "
>
> Thus, the example either needs an @bottom-left-corner rule
> added to the last declaration block or the comment needs to
> be changed, for that rule will not produce an empty footer if
> the first page is a left page.

I plan to amend the specification say that the UA MUST use the declarations
of the :first pseudo-class, if it exists, rather than either the :left or
:right declarations
