CSS3-Page and CSS3-GCPM contain features needed for paged & printed
documents. I've created a test document to assess current
implementation coverage:
http://people.opera.com/howcome/2013/tests/paged-media-ts.html
The document tests features from CSS3-page (margin boxes, page
numbers), and CSS3-GCPM (running headers & footers, running elements,
footnotes, leaders, cross-references, spanning columns, bookmarks,
page floats, crop and cross marks, bleed area, CMYK colors, and the
styling of blank pages).
The document can be interoperably rendered by two implemenatations:
Antenna House and Prince. Here are the resulting PDF documents:

http://people.opera.com/howcome/2013/tests/paged-media-pr.pdf
In sum, the test shows that all of CSS3-Page and most of CSS3-GCPM has
been implemented. It is possible to write interoperable documents, but
implementations differ in some areas.
In some cases, the implementations support a slightly different
syntax. This is, e.g., the case for CMYK colors and running elments.
Page floats is a complex feature and it is only superficially tested
in this document. The two implementations support different
properties, but there is a also a common subset. Further studies are
needed in order to advance the specification in this area.
