  I used to know an old-school printer guy who talked about everything in picas, and referred to dimensions as lines of type/picas interchangeably. So, if your printer is used to laying out publications based on that unit, they may well think in terms of everything being equal to the height of a line of type rather than the width of the page... it might follow then that you specify the height first to establish the geometry of the page... just a thought.
