Description prino 2006-07-10 20:28:08 UTC 
A sheet of A4 is 210x297 mm, not 595.2x841.9pt, no matter that anyone selects 
points as the default measurement unit. Ditto for many other measurements. 
Ever seen anyone in the printing business using fonts measured in mm/cm/in? 
No, they are measured in pt. Please get rid of your one-size-fits all approach 
to units and use logical measurements for the various elements on a page!
