or 3) the classic rules are variable and flexible.

Here is a quote from the Koma script manual:

  Many LATEX classes, including the standard classes, present the user
  with the largely fixed configuration of margins and typearea. With the
  standard classes, the configuration determined is very much dependent
  on the chosen font size. There are separate packages, such as geometry
  (see [Ume00]), which give the user complete control, but also full
  responsibility, of the settings of typearea and margins.

  KOMA-Script takes a somewhat different approach with its typearea
  package. Here the user is given several construction setting and
  automatization possibilities based on established typography standards
  in order to help guide him or her in making a good choice.

All the best,
Tom
