RE: [css3-page] "odd/even" for "page-break-before|after"?

I agree. The two look similar, but you're right that their usage of the terminology are different. My question applies only to page-break-before|after. I gave some thoughts on @page rules as well and can't find any issues for now.

Either naming is fine with me. Word uses "page count" differently from "page number", and even/odd uses "page count" for the same reason you mentioned above. I would personally favor front/back or even/odd than verso/recto though as the latter is not in my vocabulary and thus easier to remember for me.

I see, it's implicit, but is defined clearly. Thank you for letting me know this.
