The same section of css3-values also says:

   # Note that Paged Media defines how the initial containing block
   # transforms across varying page widths. This also affects these
   # units.

Should the ICB really be only on the first page? That seems weird, with 
the rest of the layout rules. (abspos but also simply the width of the 
root block box.)
