The latest specification I can find on EPS is the 3.0 version dated 1 May 1992. In this document it notes that one of the requirements of an EPS file is that it have a header of the form

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0

but in an EPS file generated by Illustrator 11.0 I find the header

%!PS-Adobe-3.1 EPSF-3.0

does anyone know where the 3.1 came from and what the differences between 3.1 and 3.0 would be?
