Personally, I think it should default to ISO (A4) and then this might get the attention of US developers who find themselves using the wrong paper and fixing this properly. I don't know how many countries use non-ISO paper sizes, but there can't be too many (Rumor has it, it's the US and one small country nobody knows the name of) > So many apps hardcode letter by default and revert to it at the > slightest excuse it's not even remotely funny.
