AFAIK, indent is a \layout thing.  It's included in the example in 
10.5.3 Score layout.

Sorry?  10.4.2 states that ragged-last-bottom affects the spread of 
systems across the last page in the piece.  10.5.7 states that 
ragged-last is like ragged-right, but only for the last line of the 
piece.  Are either of these unclear?

The separation is to keep physical stuff (paper size, margins, etc) 
separate from layout (size, spacing, etc).  I thought it made sense... 
it doesn't look good to you?
