See DAISY, Accessible Publishing Knowledge Base: "Page Navigation"

From what I've seen, while placing the page number marker at the start of text is common, placing it at the end of the text is also used. Who needs to pay attention to standards when we can do it our better way.

Code from EPUBOgrify:
Find: <span class="com-rorohiko-pagestaker-style">(\d+|[ivxclm]+)</span>

Placing it at the end makes absolutely no sense. If you say:

"On page 123, author wrote X, Y, Z."

You need the marker to jump you to the very beginning of that page's text.

I didn't say it made sense since it doesn't to me. I've just seen it done. Much like the people who use .htm or .xml for file names in epubs, it may not be standard but they don't seem to care.

Well, I'd report their off-by-one pages to them. They're likely not even aware of their error.
