Might I venture to ask why? I realize that latex likes to do everything
itself, and complains when you don't let it, but I think that if a user
creates a document with specific margins, then we should export *those*
margins as the default. If there is some deeper reason for this, please
enlighten me. If not, maybe this could be an option (in the profile, of
course).
