It's probably best not to add normative references to a WD. 

Could we address this by adding a blanket statement like:

  Properties in this speciciation apply to the media groups specified
  in the property definition. All properties that apply to the "paged"
  media type also applies inide other boxes that causes breaks by
  constraining content flow in the block direction.
