I just looked in one of my books and indeed it says dominant foot forward. Someone else one once told me that you want your more powerful foot being the one coming over the top so that your second pedal stroke was the more powerful one, as you are not getting too much leverage out of that first push down and you are getting the momentum of that more powerful leg coming over the top. I'll have to experiment with both and see which I prefer - and which gets me started better.
