We have to consider here that we are talking about the default print range only, that is, the one that is used if the document does not explicitly stores one in the document. That means, if an author wants to make sure that another application uses the same print range, then she or he can specify the print range in the document. Even more, applications may store the print range with every document of this appears to be reasonable. For this reason, I believe it is reasonable to leave it up to the application to calculate a reasonable print range. Authors/Application that do not want to depend on this may just specify the print the range. > > I'm not sure about page breaks (A4 vs letter David?) > > The basic print 'annoying the user' is a feature that should cause > the addition to the spec for consistent use across vendor products. > Suggest the print range, once set, be added to stored metadata, required > even if not set. Start cell to end cell, before:start and after:end This exists already. It is the table:print-ranges attribute. However, it is left to the application under which circumstances it actually stores the attribute, but I think this is okay. > If not set behaviour is application dependent.
