I happen to be liable for the content of that particular tutorial chapter. Dave Pawson did most of the work relating to making it look really good, with DocBook tweaking. But I take responsibility for errors. Mostly it is pretty solid, but I do have to point out one error, which relates to "reference-orientation".
The sense of rotation is right-hand-rule; that is, positive rotations are CCW. So 90 degrees is 9 o'clock, _not_ 3 o'clock as stated in the tutorial. Any references in this chapter to specific values should take this into account: for example, Fig 5.3.
I've been promising Dave to submit some patches; I guess I should get hot on that.

the xsl:fo way of doing what you want isn't pretty, but it's a very standard wish in book formatting. after you figure it out, you will wonder how else it could have been defined.
the tutorial chapter below pretty much explains how to do this: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/bk/ch05.html#d0e1929
in the code submitted already, i would have used page-position="rest" rather than odd-or-even="any", but i don't think it would make a diff.
the hard part has to do with the so-called "static content" written to the page masters, eg:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="book"> <fo:static-content flow-name="first-before"> <fo:block text-align="center"> first page header goo </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="rest-before"> <fo:block text-align="center"> other page header goo </fo:block> </fo:static-content> ... where "first-before" and "rest-before" talk about areas on the two page masters you define.
Perhaps i should have explained, the subsequent headers are different from the first header.
The first version, Magnus' version, produced two documents. The first one had the special headers and the second one had the ordinary ones.
The second version does the same. I don't see how the content of the
headers
will change. Granted, the margin size will change. But I need what is contained in the header on the subsequent pages to be different from what
is
at the top of the first page. Are we to conclude that it can't be done?
I'm concluding this can't be done. {:(
