\pagenumber and \lastpagenumber are the raw values which can be used to 
calculate
the difference between both etc. while \userpagenumber and 
\lastuserpagenumber
are the formatted result of these values. The latter are needed when you 
apply
a conversion to the page number (e.g. roman numberals in the frontmatter).
