It has, in section 13.2.1: "In CSS 2.1, only the margin properties
('margin-top', 'margin-right', 'margin-bottom', 'margin-left', and
'margin') apply within the page context" and "The declarations in an
@page rule are said to be in the page context", from which I infer:
only the margin properties are allowed in @page
On the other side, CSS3 allows both border and padding:
