referential purposes of formating
what IMHO actually SHOULD exist in the specs is a common definition of "virtual-page-count" i.e. "n characters incl. spaces = 1 virtual page" it would allow better quoting from ebook-editions for scientific purposes.
keeping in mind that pre-typeset typoscripts (and thus a fair amount of not richly edited publications keep this layout in print) use the "standard page" reference i.e. 30 lines á 60 chars each defining a "virtual page" for purely referential purposes as being an "array of 1800 characters with space counted as a character" comes in mind.
