[css3-page][naming] New name for the page box

Hi,

In CSS 2.1 and some parts of css3-page, the "page box" is a single 
rectangle (that includes the page margins.) In other parts of css3-page, 
it’s a CSS box with margins, borders and padding.

Media Queries also assumes the 2.1 definition of page box for the 
device-width and device-height media features.

Still, css3-page wants a CSS box. I’d like to find a new name for this 
CSS box, whose containing block would be the page box, and whose content 
area is also called "page area".

I added this issue inline in
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-page/#page-box-page-rule

This box would also help explain everything else in css3-page: it would 
have the page border, the background propagated from the root element, 
and establish a stacking context. It would be a sibling to page-margin 
boxes.

I’m basically looking for a name like "page box", except that page box 
is already used in CSS 2.1 with a different meaning. Mabye "page-content 
box", as opposed to page-margin boxes?

Thanks,
--
