Hi:

Support of paged-media is somewhat spotty from what I understand in NS6
and IE5+, though I've not seen any reports on what is supported vs.
unsupported. Both of your examples look fine, in any case. I believe Amaya
has the greatest level of support, though it's implementation is spotty as
well.
