Re: [clreq] Explain 'type area'

Referring JLReq, there are 2 _separate_ terms:

* **hanmen (page content area)  版面      hanmen**        Actual printed
 area in a page excluding the margins. (note: Running heads and page 
numbers are not part of hanmen.) (JIS Z 8125)

* **kihon-hanmen        基本版面    kihon hanmen**  The default dimensions
 of the main area of a typeset page specified by text direction, 
number of columns, character size, number of characters in a line, 
number of lines in a column, inter-line spacing and inter-column 
spacing. (JIS X 4051)

and things are easy to confuse but

1. hanmen（版面）in Japanese, 版心 or 頁心 in Chinese, and in English, this 
term can be textblock in _ETS_, but we must also notice that in GB 
9851.2-2008（印刷技术术语）, there is a definition as below, which perfectly 
matches the term _hanmen_ in JIS Z 8125:

>  3.3 版心 type page 印刷成品版面中的图文印刷区域（不含出血图像）

cf.
> 3.2 版面 type area 印刷成品幅面中，图文和空白部分的总和。

To make everything clear, let me repeat:
版面 (banmian) in Chinese is  紙面 (shimen) in Japanese
版面 (hanmen) in Japanese is 版心(banxīn) in Chinese

Basically, according to GB definition above the area of 版面 (banmian) 
is larger than 版心(banxīn).

2. kihon-hanmen 基本版面 in Japanese, maybe 基本排版体裁 in Chinese, and in 
English it should be something like “Basic style of type page”. 
According to the definition of JIS X 4051, “layout grid” may be _one 
of_ the approach of kihon-hanmen. 

As far as I know, Japanese Layout is much rely on “layout grid”, but 
not Modern Chinese. As a matter of fact, a lot of Modern Chinese 
layout can be processed with Western “Margins And Columns” mode in 
Adobe InDesign, while the approach and result that strictly follow the
 “layout grid” is 纵横对齐 (grid alignment).
