According to the Document Structure Spec v2.1 (also the Red Book), the
Bounding Box is defined in the statement
	%%BoundingBox: llx lly urx ury 
where all four values MUST be integers.

However, I have several Adobe Illustrator v1.6 documents that use floating 
point number in the BoundingBox statement.

Is my document outdated?  Or is it a bug in Illustrator?

If the people who designed the convention do not follow it, how much can we
count on the spec?
