I don't believe that print-proofing was part of the original idea.
calibration of the screen would be automatic - the screen is a known resolution and size, so making it display at 100% is easy. Hmm... you could even have it offer different (e.g. A3 or Tabloid) page sizes and 'scroll' the page, if it was really clever. But really, for most office work very-nearly A4 or US Letter would do, so long as the margins were properly indicated.
