default page width
Hello!
I'm about to fix bug #10158 and I wonder, why in FOP default page width
is 8in although spec recommends 8.26in[1]. Well, actually in absence of
User Agent page width is implementation-defined, so we can leave 8in
happily (actually XEP also uses 8x11in defaults, but Antenna - 8,26x11).
Opinions?

Point taken, I agree.

I'd only change the trunk and leave maintenance branch as it is
(nobody has complained yet and it *might* cause problems with
existing stlyesheets)

So, if nobody complains I'll make it 8,26 x 11 in by default.

8.26--that gives you the A4 width and US length, that is, the universal
page size that will give acceptable results on either US or A4 paper.
