I don't see that.  layout/midi are different output media.  paper has
some overarching information (like base file names).  It also contains
some information pertinent to typesetting a whole document as opposed to
single scores, like paper dimensions.  Things like staff sizes are a
whole lot murkier, and developers have been scratching their head about
making things like layout-set-staff-size work in a sensible manner, if
at all.
