I'm not going to comment a possible solution, but to endorse Jirka's
requirement I think it is in general necessary to have a facility to
distinct even and odd pages in the region body. 

Currently it's not possible to
- use different start-indent/text-indent values 
  (to align blocks on the outer/inner side of a page)
- use different borders 
  (to create only a border on the outer/inner side)
- create different contents
  (e.g. one icon for odd pages and another for even pages)
