Re: Papersize setting not reflected in PDF Properties

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

The reason it's meant to be set to `a4` and not `a4paper` is
so that the same setting can be used for ConTeXt and LaTeX.
(In ConTeXt you say:  `\setuppapersize[a4]`.)

This gives us uniformity across formats, at the cost of
being slightly confusing for LaTeX experts.
