svg has even draft about multipage... which, with the ability to use CSS
at top of svg file, might or might not be a good thing.

In formating of the page, there is already the World vs North-America
(A4 vs US letter). Either you designed your template to only use the
common area, dropping the margin (width 210 vs 216 mm, height 297 vs 279
mm, so 6 mm & 18 mm of white..), or you didn't and the change of paper
becomes "interesting" (truncated text, or repaginated with references
becoming wrong...)

A document is more than a collection of pages.

And remember: your documents will be migrated to the new company logo
and charts when the bigger corporation buy your company... or resell
it... or change its visual identity, or want to explore a new market.

Better keep a strict separation between formatting and content. (your
diagrams & pictures might show the company logo, but it should not be
copied inside every of them, it should be part of the formatting data
that can be referenced by them). The company name as well as the product
name are also not part of the content.
