Re: [css3-page] Proposing @margin for marginalia

Yes, this sounds more useful for the purpose :-)

BTW, will these values be available for text-align values, and for
padding/margin as well?

Then, a marginalia could be formatted like this:

  .marginalia {
     float: outer;
     clear: both;
     margin-outer: -32mm;  /* we need to float *out* of the block! */
     text-align: inner;
     display: block;
     width: 30mm;
  }

... and the @page rule would boil down to:

  @page {
     padding-outer: 32mm;
  }

(without the need to write this twice, for :left and :right pages)
