The resolution is:
1. there will be an example use the size a4
2. the units will be in mm
3. the following media names must be supported by Use Agents as keywords in
the size property: letter, legal, ledger, A5, B5, A4, B4, A3
4.  ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/standards/pwg5101.1.pdf will be referenced as
the definitive specification for media names
