In a document I wanted a footer determined by something like
@page {
margin: 1in 0;
counter-increment: page;
@bottom-center { content: "Page " counter(page) };
}

along the lines suggested at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-css3-page-20030909/#page-based-counters
but I do not seem to be able to get any support for @bottom-center.

Am I doing this wrong? If it's missing in my Opera 7.54 under Windows,
can I hope to get it soon?

Additionally, aside from the support issue, *if* I have made no mistake
above then Opera has a bug in handling this instruction: it wrecks the
margins on my document.

Thanks,
Alan Isaac

This is an early Working Draft of a spec that might be implemented in the
future. It is not implemented now. The fact that our CTO helped in writing
this draft might help, but IIANM, you should not hold your breath waiting
for it at this moment.
