There's no build process for CSS3-Page yet. CSS2.1 paged media tests
don't use page headers because they don't exist in CSS2.1, so I think
we're safe letting the build process add those.

I think

   '@page' not found -> use margin box headers
   '@page' exists -> use document content headers

should work fine for CSS3 Page, though. Do you have a test in mind
that wouldn't work under such a system?
