Actually, I have validated one or two that way and it
is very unusual. But I'm talking about books where the
chapter ends on a right-hand page, the even-numbered
page, but instead of the next chapter beginning on the
next page, which would be an odd-numbered page, that
page is blank, and the next chapter begins on the page
after the blank page, the even-numbered page. Yet if
the chapter ends on the odd-numbered page, the next
chapter begins on the very next page, the facing,
even-numbered page. The book I'm validating now is
just like that, and many of the books I've done are
that way. I have to go out now, but if you want some
titles to download and see what I mean, I'll send you
some later. smile.
