I noticed it on the W3C site a couple of weeks ago, and concluded that it
was premature. (It is not yet a W3C standard, and look at the platforms
that have tool support: mainly Windows, perhaps a Java2 SDK will also
work.)

I would give higher priority to a real PDF driver (not via bitmap())
at present, as these are already widely-available tools to use PDF.
