This has been discussed before:

Unfortunately it seems that conversation died out without reaching a
conclusion.
I argued these are, in fact, properties. They just happen to only apply
to pages, not elements, just like 'table-layout' only applies to table
elements.
The aspect that’s not just editorial is whether 'size' and friends show
up in CSSOM. (Note that CSSPageRule.style is a CSSStyleDeclaration, same
as CSSStyleRule.style.)
