So, I would propose adding three properties to css3-page, in addition to bleed and marks:

Name: mark-offset

I would suggest that you don't use the term 'mark' without qualifying it in some way (e.g. printer/trim/crop). At the character/glyph level 'mark' has another very-well established meaning (combining marks).

Thank you for bringing this up. I would propose printer-mark-offset since we're not currently doing separate values for crop vs cross marks.

On second thought, given these values only operate inside @page rules, I think the possibility of confusion is minimal. The name "marks" has a long history in this context (including the original CSS2 spec), and is used in existing implementations.

Regards,

Dave
