Keith,

That's it!  That works. I was just looking at that template when I received
your email. Thank You.

Oops.. yes.

No, this is exactly the same thing I do, which is why I grabbed the
first template that matched what I was expecting. How about this one:

  <xsl:template name="force.page.count">
    <xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/>
    <xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="$element = 'toc'">end-on-even</xsl:when>
          <xsl:when test="$element = 'book'">end-on-even</xsl:when>
          <xsl:when test="$element = 'preface'">end-on-even</xsl:when>
          <xsl:when test="$element = 'part'">end-on-even</xsl:when>
          <xsl:when test="($element = 'chapter') and
not(following::chapter)">end-on-even</xsl:when>
          <xsl:when test="($element = 'appendix') and
not(following::appendix)">end-on-even</xsl:when>
          <!-- Otherwise, always start on right, not what you want... -->
          <!-- so comment it out
          <xsl:otherwise>end-on-even</xsl:otherwise>
          -->
          <!-- Or, allow left starts, what you want-->
          <xsl:otherwise>no-force</xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:when>
      <!-- single-sided output -->
      <xsl:otherwise>no-force</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

HTH,
Keith
