Hmmm. You can provide several entries in the stylesheet, one for each paper
size. Then it should be possible to select the correct entry with a syntax
like style.dsl#a4 or style.dsl#letter. However, if I remind correctly, the
docbook-utils work with default entries like #print. Perharprs it would
require some adaptation.
Sorry not to be more precise.
