I think the fact that you can start numbering at 0 is not at all obvious
(and you can do it only with arabic numbering, of course, not roman
numerals), but Word uses this feature to make an envelope page 0 when
attached to a document. When a number is not going to be printed on the
first page of a document anyway, it's a handy workaround.
