[xep-support] the order of the conditional-page-master-reference

[Marc]

Thank you very much for answer, that right that I read the Spec as a stylesheet writer and not like a implementer, I will reread the french translation to see if it's so explicit but I think so because the translator method and people are very good.
This helps me very well.
