Back in the bad old days when I was allowed to design for bound, hardcopy
books, we made two editions of the book. One online, with no inter-chapter
plates, and one printed - with DIFF page numbers as the plates WERE numbered
in the sequence. The gfx designers either use one or the other, and they
don't remember page number references. They CAN remember roughly whereabouts
the information was in terms of "how far through the document", or how they
successfully located that information or similar last time.
So the small difference in page numbers between the two editions was deemed,
logically, to be of no consequence.

Decorative insert pages between chapters...
If your page numbering scheme is "Chapter-page"
(i.e., restarts at page "X-1", "X-2", etc. at
the beginning of each new chapter), you probably
don't number the fluff pages.
What if your numbering is continuous -- no restarting?
Is it more proper to include the spacer pages
in the numbering (whether the number actually
appears on the page or not), or to skip them?
Yes, I know that some people despise that kind
of fluff regardless of how it's numbered, but
that's not my question right now.
Opinions and informative rants welcome.
