Agreed. It is the first time *we've* killed off any
attributes--Andrew did kill some as evidenced in the RELEASE.html
file. But I can't think of any that I've seen killed since I started
as maintainer.

Hmm. That's not a bad idea, but with Acroread 4 so buggy and often
unable (or unwilling) to generate PS, I wonder how long it will be a
viable option.
If anyone is willing to turn PDF.cc into a standalone converter, I
think that would be pretty easy.
