That would require interrogating the document class to see what the default
margins are. Sounds difficult, but a nice user-friendly feature.
Sounds almost impossible, without creating a document ourselves using
the class and arranging to print the relevant values when we compile it.

Maybe it would be an idea to provide such a document, a one-page that captures
and displays all relevant measurements.
I'd be happy to include such a document, actually, if you or someone
else wanted to create it. I'd suggest using the layouts package, which
of course the user would need to have installed. It'd be a simple
document---perhaps a template---that one could load, and then compile.
You'd have to set the document class to what you wanted, but then it
would display the page layout, etc, for that class.
