And yet we POV-Ray users feel free to comment on the fact that people
who use other modeling programs feel the need to double up mesh faces.
Aren't we a bunch of hypocrites. :)

Seriously, there is another way to get different textures on both sides
of a sheet of paper, but it's a little more difficult.  It requires 
you to use a radial texture, and it requires the paper to have at least
a little thickness so as to prevent weirdness in the texture.  If you're
using a patch object for the paper, I think I'd recommend doubling it
up as previously suggested.
