Re: [xep-support] Incorrect page margins when writing-mode="rl-tb"

Hi Bob,

I've looked over Section 5.3 of the spec, but Section 6.4.13 seems to
trump it... it says that such mappings don't apply to the
simple-page-master.

Specificly:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/
Section 6.4.13: simple-page-master

"""
Note:
The reference points for the page-viewport-area content-rectangle are in
terms of the "top", "bottom", "left", and "right" rather than
"before-edge", "after-edge", "start-edge", and "end-edge" because users
see the media relative to its orientation and not relative to the
writing-mode currently in use.

(bolding is from the spec, not mine)
