RE: [css3-page] LCWD issue 29 -- [29] Section 8

Ernest,

I agree that <angle> in the range of 0 to 260 is preferable to <integer>.  I
look to profiles such as the CSS Print Profile for low cost printers to
simplify the range to 0, 90, 270.  Starting at the full range and allowing
capable printers to implement to their ability seems like a good idea to me.
