Page layout for print is very different than for screen. It was designers with a print background which insisted on writing "Best viewed on a 640x480 monitor with 24bit color. Please maximize your browser window for the optimal experience" on websites back in day.
Actually I think the designers of CSS consulted traditional print too much, by adding confusing and useless stuff like "pt" measurements.
