Re: page numbering: 1, 3, 5, ...

I haven't looked into the definition of \thepage (probably it does just the
\arabic) but wouldn't it in general be a better idea to use the old
definition like:

\let\thep@ge\thepage
\renewcommand\thepage{\thep@ge\stepcounter{page}}

Suppose \thepage was a command that outputs \arabic or \roman numbering
depending on the context, for example.

Just a question though, I may have said something stupid here :D
