Ah, yes, but there is language in there that says something like "in general,
comments are not required, but if they are used, they must be used correctly."
Kind of circular advice, but it does point out that although something may
not be required, if it is present, it should conform to the spec.

That's true.
I would opine that the %%PageTrailer comment shouldn't be there unless the
%%Page comment is, but I doubt it is made explicit in the spec.....
