I agree that writing out page size info on a per-section basis is a
good idea. But how exactly would you propose to implement per-page
info? The number of pages, and the location of specific elements
relative to those pages, is not known to the file format. How, then,
would you store the info that "page 5 is landscape" if we don't even
know where page 5 starts, or even if there's a page 5?
