[xep-support] Re: Reversing order of page rendering

Actually, Kevin, I believe that Darren wants something like this:

1 English
2 English
3 English
4 English
4 Arabic
3 Arabic
2 Arabic
1 Arabic

Thus, the "back" cover (when viewed as an English language book) would
be the "front" cover of the Arabic section of the book.

Hope this helps,
    Jim
