That would work in the author style sheet, but not in the UA style sheet:
as soon as the author specifies something else for their margin boxes

   @page {
      @top-left { content: "My Header"; }
   }

that has overridden the UA's 'content' rules on :blank. (The UA's rule
is more specific, but it is in a lower level of the cascade.)

But, if Prince already supports :blank, maybe we could add it to CSS3
Paged Media instead of CSS4 Paged Media.
