I would argue for ignoring declarations with these units in this situation unless there is a compelling reason not to take that route. It may be that in future versions of the paged media specification we'll find a use for them. For example, I can imagine that we might want the ability to specify that the preferred output would be for multiple logical pages to be tiled on one page of physical media - picture how printing Powerpoint slides is often handled. In this situation, I can imagine that there may be ways we could define viewport-related units in an @page declaration that might be useful, and I'd prefer not to cut off any possibilities at this point.
