Maching paper size with locale

Just being curious - why is not the default paper size matched with what
is most common in the country you select in timezone setup? Ex. in
Norway, Letter is something only known from the "select paper size" in
printer drivers - A4 is the _only_ format used. And as default paper
setting in many programs - such as firefox - while ex. OpenOffice uses
A4. Why is there no common setting of this - one file where all programs
read what the standard papersize/orientation etc should be?

Having it wrong is bad, but inconsistent is almost worse...
