>Exactly. What other interpretation could there be, and why does that make no sense?

It doesn't make much sense to me.  That is, as a programmer, I
wouldn't have done it that way.  I couldn't imagine anyone wanting it
to. I could imagine people wanting other page device parameters to
work, especially those related to separation; again, no page device.

but it remains a page device parameter. Why should this one be
honoured, since there is no page device to process the request?  Page
devices are only one kind of devices that there might be - for
instance, there have long been screen preview devices which similarly
ignore page device parameters (for copies, should they open N
identical windows?) 

Anyway, it's moot arguing: it doesn't.
