The idea is to produce a test file so Will can try including it in another
document to test the options, not to do anything meaningful with \pdfpageattr,
which indeed is a pain in the, errrr, head. Actually that's the s-less version I
meant (\pdfpageattr, not \pdfpagesattr); the PDF Reference doesn't flag the
Bleed-, Trim- and ArtBox as inheritable, so I guess using \pdfpagesattr won't
work.

I didn't know about MediaBox, but it makes sense -- even though the pdfTeX
manual gives /MediaBox as an example of an attribute in \pdfpagesattr.
