Hmm.  It seems to be an undocumented feature, but it's there in 
/usr/include/langinfo.h

Using the proglet below, I get the results:

address@hidden:~$ export LC_PAPER=en_AU
address@hidden:~$ ./a.out 
W: 210; H: 297
address@hidden:~$ export LC_PAPER=en_US
address@hidden:~$ ./a.out 
W: 216; H: 279

So it seems to be implemented in glibc at least.

#include <langinfo.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
 int w, h;
 setlocale (LC_PAPER, "");

 w = (int) nl_langinfo(_NL_PAPER_WIDTH);
 h = (int) nl_langinfo(_NL_PAPER_HEIGHT);
 
 printf ("W: %d; H: %d\n", w, h);

 return 0;
}
