It could be in both? The default in the local MRU only, the optional one inside the xoj file and exploited by a new option when exporting / storing / sharing.
This way there could be a UI option to export/share the opened file with the current page in it as well. Use cases: - I could share a document with people and have it open at the particular page I wanted them to have a look at. - It could be use to sync them among different devices as well. More work, but more options.
