As an alternitive question might I ask why you want to specify a "page
width" anyway.

If you simply fail to specify anything at all to do with page with then the
page will automatically adjust to the with of the browsers viewport, no
matter what technology that browser is running on. That is how browsers
work, before web authors cripple them by over specifying things.
