I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that DIN or ISO A4 just is 210.00 * 297.00 more correct (considering where Din comes from) I'm not sure where you take the 209.90*297.04 in document prefs from... when caculating A4 with the way it is derived (A0 = 1m², a/b = b/(2a) ) I get 210.22*297.30

FYI: It's correct that A4 (per ISO 216) should be *exactly* 210 × 297 mm. The calculation rounds down after each division, to ensure that two AN pages will always fit a A(N-1) page.
