This is true. There are intrinsic problems--like missing fonts-- and
avoidable problems -- like the infamous, multi-versioned LaserPrep.

This was also true of FORTRAN, another de facto,
semi-proprietary standard. Adobe will tend to behave the same way IBM did with
FORTRAN; they want it to be a de facto standard but they don't want to
get carried away with clarifying the standard so as to make the
cloners job easier.

There is a PostScript users group, led by Terry Satterthwaite
somewhere in S.F. They might be the logical group to clarify and
enforce standards.
