I have done this some years ago because I did not find any other
information about the "origin" of the calculation for the page layout:
if you use the latex companion (2nd edition) on page 200 you can read:

"The circle is at 1 inch from the top and left of the page. Dashed lines
represent (\hoffset + 1 inch) and (\voffset + 1 inch) from the top"

And everywhere else (for instance p 194) dimensions 1 and 2 are
described as : one inch + \hoffset, one inch + \voffset

These \hoffset and \voffset are not reported (in latex companion) as
specifically TeX commands!

I wanted to get rid of these "one inch" to provide the publisher a
"camera ready" file and the way I did was an easy way to give a
centered text with the text width and height given by the publisher...

When I have done this, it was the first edition of the latex companion
and in the second edition, the offset commands are still there!
