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 ...
