You have repeatedly made it clear that you dislike this spec [1][2]. Others
find it quite useful and use it to publish printed publications in
HTML/CSS, e.g.:

  http://css4.pub/

It's quite magical, actually :)

The 16 margin boxes makes it possible to replicate real-world running
headers, which can be quite complex. Here are some samples:

If you still disagree, I'd like to see the code you propose using for
the challenge posted in [3].

Or you can use Prince and AntennaHouse which already provide
interoperable implementation of many features from Paged Media.
