The number after 'PS-Adobe-' is the DSC version (note that EPS comments are 
basically those in the DSC, with few specifics). The one after EPSF- is the 
version of the EPS specification.

I found no DSC reference newer than 3.0. If someone knows where to get one, 
I'm all ears (eh, eyes, 'cause it's in writing...). I can only speculate it 
could be the result of merging part or all of TechNote #5644 "PostScript 
Language Document Comment Extensions for Page Layout" (see 
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/ps/index_specs.html), and maybe 
something more too, into DSC 3.0.
