Re: [css3-page] Additional page sizes

Good point.

What does a predefined paper size in CSS guarantee?

If it is just pairing a label with a known pair of dimensions 
(height,width), then I don't see a downside to making that list 
relatively comprehensive. It's just a table and implementers will simply 
copy it from the spec.

If it's trying to express a guarantee that each UA can do something 
sensible in creating physical output at those sizes, that's another 
matter. (I don't even think that's possible).
