Even number of pages in a simple-page-sequence?

I've been asked to ensure that each chapter in an output document starts
on an odd-numbered page, i.e. that the preceding chapter (which is a
simple-page-sequence) is 'padded out' with an extra page if it contains
an odd number of pages.  My understanding is that this is impossible
with DSSSL, since the DSSSL engine has no means of knowing what the
pagination of the resulting document is going to be.  Is this right?

Page-sequence has what I need (the force-last-page characteristic), but
we don't have support for that in Jade as yet ...

If, as I fear, this is right, is there a work-around for Jade in the
case where output is to the RTF backend?
