That it does not seem to have caused confusion may mostly reflect that one is much better known than the other. Also, when preceded and qualified with the word 'page' I don't see how they could be confusing. As stand-alone directional words before and after are imo potentially confusing for anyone familiar with ::before/::after which is to say a very large proportion of CSS authors.
