Because you will eventually, so you might as well do it now to
minimise suffering. Well, I don't know how true that is for A4 paper,
but that's a generic reason for accepting a good standard.

I have heard of a US company using A4 for compatibility with its own
officies in other countries, but I don't suppose it happens very often
yet.

I can still remember the old "foolscap" paper that preceded A4 in
Britain. I'm certainly glad they replaced it.

Sorry, I'm now totally off topic ...
