Thanks all for the discussion. As a simple user, I think I must pass. All this 
complexity in my document text and setup is too much trouble and it seems risky 
(wjhat am I going to break?). Far less work to do a small check at the end.

What I was looking for was something simple that made for instance 
\at{page][foo] conditional, e.g.

\conditionalat[when]{page}[foo]

with ‘when’ is something like
        always
        onpage
        offpage
        onspread
        offspread
        never

Typing \conditionalat instead of \at is what I as a simpleton user can handle…
