Well, CSS 2.0 did allow "size: landscape", "size: portrait", and even
"size: 8.5in 11in", although CSS 2.1 dropped it. See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/page.html#page-size-prop

CSS 3 may reintroduce and extend the size property:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/#page-size

Browser support? Well, that's another issue...
