The method described under 3.4.5.5 is one of two possible methods mentioned in 3.4.5.2. The other one is an explanatory note (see 3.22.2.11) such as "Leaves are printed on both sides".

The first example was revised to make it clearer that it covers precisely this situation: Misleading Numbering In some cases, the numbering on the last page, leaf, or column of a sequence does not represent the total number in that sequence. When this occurs, do not correct it unless it gives a completely false impression of the extent of the resource (e.g., when only alternate pages are numbered or when the number on the last page, leaf, or column of the sequence is misprinted).
