Please don't do that.
Some chapters will later be revised when OOo changes, and the page
numbers will get out of sync unless ALL the following chapters' page
numbers are updated and ALL the PDFs are regenerated. That's a lot of
extra work for no real value to the reader, and is unlikely to happen.

It would make more sense to utilize chapter and page numbering then for
those chapters: e.g., 7-2 or some such. But having recurrent page 1s for
every chapter is a bit much. That way, if somebody wanted to refer to a
certain page, he/she/it wouldn't always have to explicitly refer to the
chapter/subject matter also each and every time, especially when
simultaneously referring to multiple chapters. We could also use that
numbering scheme for any books. But I have no special preference for any
particular pagination scheme.
