I think that @page could contain variables.

Many @-rules like @font-face or @counter-style contain *descriptors*. 
Descriptors have the same "name: value;" syntax as properties, but 
that’s it. They can not have !important and are not part of the cascade.

@page however contains real properties, as do margin rules inside @page. 
In fact, in recent css3-page drafts, @page inherits from the root 
element and margin boxes inherit from @page.

In their current form, CSS variables can be used in any property values 
but not in descriptors. The spec probably should mention that.
