This requires you to know what the dimensions of the paper are, and what 
the correct aspect ratio of every image is. I'd prefer it if there were 
some way to have the browser scale images in proportion, but I'm not 
seeing any way of doing that.

Isn't that part of the default CSS rules anyway? Certainly the 
pagination looks fairly plausible right now.

That's true - not that the correct document I'm working on contains any 
links...
