Setting the two-side parameter to #t works fine for me with both SGML and
XML sources (Win XP, OpenJade 1.3.1, DocBook DSSSL 1.79). Maybe someone can
help if you provide more details about your environment, other
customizations (if any), command line settings etc.

One would expect this to be possible. This old thread from the DSSSL list
was the most relevant piece of information I could find:
