Para 6.4.1.1 The fo:repeatable-page-master-reference specifies a repetition of a single page-master. The fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives specifies the repetition of a set of page-masters. Which of the alternative page-masters is used at a given point in the sub-sequence is conditional and may depend on whether the page number is odd or even, is the first page, is the last page, or is blank. Suggest add 'non-blank' to the list.
To take your request to its logical conclusion, the paragraph would also have to list 'only page' and 'neither first nor last page', at which point I suggest that it becomes too much information for what is only an introduction. Section 6.4.12, fo:conditional-page-master-reference [1], describes the constraints in detail, with more detail again in the definition of the applicable properties. The paragraph is likely to be revised in XSL 2.0 and probably made less specific because there will be more ways to specify alternatives [2] and listing all of those would really make too much detail for an introduction.
