(:firstpage:) doesn't _have_ to come before the first page.  

(:firstpage:) simply says "output the markup that follows when we're 
on the first page in the list".  If a (:firstpage:) section
appears in the template after an (:eachpage:) section, then
the markup for firstpage would come after the eachpage markup
(i.e., would appear to come "after the first page").

Again, I don't expect many template designers to make direct
use of this feature, but it will be allowed.
