Agreed.

Totally disagree.

The corporate documents that I deal with all have the branding very
prominently on the front cover, rather like a 'splash screen'.  But that
is one of the differences with the web - with a paper doc the user
always gets to see the front cover.

That does not sound like correct ordering to me.

To continue your paper document comparison, when did you ever come
across a doc where the biggest heading was not the first significant
item on the page?
