There is already a driver around called dvips. It is sold by Arbortext Inc.
and is a very good driver which supports specials, graphics inclusion and use
of LaserWriter fonts as well as downloaded TeX ones.
I think it will cause confusion if Tom calls his driver dvips as well. There
is already some confusion between dvi2ps and dvips as it is.
