And, even:
  'top'
  'right'
  'bottom'
  'left'

I would think so. Today we, e.g., have:
  @page :left  { @bottom-left-corner { ... }}
  @page :right { @bottom-right-corner { ... }}
  @page :first { @bottom-left-corner { ... }}
Lots of left and rights and tops and bottoms there.

ERROR: My head ran out of memory trying to compute the consequences :)
