[css3-page] Additional page sizes

CSS-Page supports a short list of predefined paper/page sizes for the size property http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/#page-size-prop

A5, A4, A3, B5, B4, letter, legal, ledger

The B4 and B5 sizes included are very confusing for Japanese users, as they are defined as ISO B4 (250×353mm) and ISO B5 (176×250mm), different from the JIS-B4 (257×364mm) and JIS-B5 (182×257mm) commonly used in Japan.

I suggest adding JIS-B4 and JIS-B5 to the list, as well as ISO-B4 and ISO-B5 as aliases to B4 and B5 for clarity.

There are many more paper formats we could consider, and for instance Antenna House supports the following http://www.antennahouse.com/product/ahf60/docs/ahf-ext.html#axf.size

I would support extending the list in the specification in that direction, but resolving the ambiguity and confusion with regards to the B series seems higher priority.
