I'm not certain if we want to change the names again, but it would 
probably
help a lot if we did
\bookpaper -> \paper -> \page

Having two \paper settings (for pre-2.4 and post-2.4) will be 
confusing, and
\page is close enough to \paper to make sense.

...

On second thought, I definitely recommend changing (the current) \paper
to \page.  The new \layout and \paper hasn't been around for long enough
for a lot of people to get used to it, so right now the only people who 
might
get confused by the additional change are the developers.  Not having 
any
\paper section will avoid a /lot/ of confusion in the long run.
