You are right, we could do it for document.page only.
Anyway, most of my arguments would still be valid. Except maybe the
common case of using the canvas write methods, where we would have no
exceeds page size problem. However, instead, we would have a different
papersize default at different places, which is strange. (One could
argue, that a document should have a papersize and a single page
figure should not. This distinction is perfectly valid for PostScript
vs. Encapsulated PostScript, but document.page is not source of this
distinction. Both PostScript variants do have a page instance (or
maybe several pages for PostScript) in its document structure. And for
PDF this distinction is not valid at all as there is no special figure-
only case.)
As Jörg quickly agreed to my solution and we already applied it to the
repository, I think we're done with it. Except Jörg wants to jump in
again. However, if Jörg still agrees and thus Jörg and I do favour a
particular solution (which is not always the case BTW), you guys out
there basically have to live with it. :-)
