After hand modifying the TeX to add OFRH on the front of the text that
occurs in an SpSOtherFrontRightHeader, and OFLF on the front of the text
that occurs in an SpSOtherFrontLeftFooter and FFLF on the front of the text
that occurs in an SpSFirstFrontLeftFooter, it is very clear that the
following is happening:

FirstPageFront gets FirstFrontLeft and Right Headers/Footers as appropriate
FirstPageBack gets the OtherFrontLeft and Right Headers/Footers
NextPageFront gets OtherFrontLeft and Right Headers/Footers
NextPageBack gets OtherFrontLeft and Right Headers/Footers.

However, OpenJade is assembling different OtherFrontLeftFooter and
OtherBackLeftFooter Entries ... While producing exactly the same
FirstFrontLeftFooter and FirstBackLeftFooter!

Seems like a combination of errors here ... Can anyone clue me in?
