I'm -0 on that.

While it's better than using a paperformat by default (that we would
have the problem which to choose -- while A4 would be natural in
Europe, it would be a quite strange choice in the US).

Still, I think it's not necessary. First of all it shouldn't be the
default. Suppose you're creating a document with crop marks and
makeing the whole think a little bigger than your final papersize.
That's perfect and you can just use the real and final coordinates in
your scripts. As it should be. And why should you need to disable some
strange kind of shifting to just get out what you just painted. No, I
don't think it's any good ...

Lesson to be learned: Use a paperformat. It's a nice, *additional*
feature.

Just my two cents ...
