Well, the only thing that may go as "undocumented" are the IDs of the 
property sheet controls (i.e. Back, Next, Finish etc. buttons) - I 
didn't find them in some header file, so I got those IDs with the help 
of an utility. So if MS has decided to give those controls different IDs 
on different platforms, they won't move when you resize. But I don't 
think that's the case, if it is, it could probably be fixed with some 
cut'n'paste.

"Assumptions on internal working" basically means that some of the 
code(like getting the original page size) assumes that certain messages 
arrive in a certain order. If this isn't the case, sizes may or may not 
be computed wrong.
