Would it be useful to have a section on conventional paper sizes? Perhaps under the 'Trade' section? Not really something you'd want for an EPUB, I know, nor really all that useful for someone printing to an A4- or Letter-size printer from their web browser, but might be useful for someone wanting to go to a paper book. Alternatively, you might suppose that someone designing for a Publisher would be told what size to design for and that anybody else could do what works best for them. I don't know that you'd want to get into discussing signatures and imposition, though there is an oblique reference to signatures in "The nature of printing and binding also mandate that the number of pages in a book be some multiple of eight, sixteen, or thirty-two pages." in "Book optimization" [1]. (FWIW, that section refers to trade publishing but isn't in the trade publishing section.)
