Hello,
The CSS 2 section Appendix A. A sample style sheet for HTML 4.0
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/sample.html) contains the rule set:
BODY { padding: 8px; line-height: 1.33 }
A conforming printer does not support padding. I did a rough translation of
8px to 0.1 inch to recommend that a PP-UA mimic the 8px padding with a 0.1
inch inset on all four edges of the page.
Best regards,

Dear Jim Bigelow
I have a question about New versions of CSS Print Profile.
"8.4.1 Default Style Sheet Guidelines for PP-UAs
6. The edges of the content of body element should have 0.1 inch wide inset
from the left, top, right, and bottom of the printable area of the page.
Margin calculations will start from these offsets."
Would you tell me why you set the insertion value as 0.1 inch.
Best Regards,
Yasuko Goto
