A CSS user agent would be expected to support new keywords out of the box while a Voice Browser would not be expected to support speech synthesis for a new language or a browser a new image format just because of new registered language tags or MIME types. If the page dimensions can be inferred from the keyword that would not be a problem, but then I don't get the point of using size: na_letter_8.5x11in; (a keyword I would probably have to look up first) instead of size: 8.5in 11in; As an author, what's my benefit if this is added to css3-page?
