Correct me if I'm wrong, but was "BeginDefaults" not the method of choice 
to say: if no other value is given, please take A4 instead of that 
awkward Letter format?

IOW, if another page media is chosen, this should not hurt.

And BTW, Lily's PostScript code's main purpose is to produce something 
which Ghostscript turns into a PDF. So, the PostScript does not have to 
adher strictly to the specs, but to what Ghostscript understands.
