I guess those functions would be convenient, but it depends on how you would implement it. What I'm doing right now is:

Size sz(5100-1200*ScanDouble(SSsetting.Get("printLeftMargin","1")),6600-1200*ScanDouble(SSsetting.Get("printTopMargin","1")));
Report report(sz);

to convert from inches (SSsetting is a VectorMap<String,String>).
Normally it would be sufficient to SetMarginSides(int dots) and SetMarginTopBottom(int dots) but sometimes you would want to SetMarginTop different from SetMarginBottom. And if you can't do that, it could be more frustrating than its worth.
(btw, I would use MarginTop over TopMargin b/c functions would show up sequentially in Assist++ and css uses "margin-top").
