This spec is one where (through hosts of iterations) I regarded the
ps / pdf versions as
the really useful formats and the ascii versions as basically broken.
Those graphical state machine images really did help at least me
understand what was going on.

On the other hand, here's a document that we've been working on for a
while, always producing text and ps/pdf due to the inclusion of
graphical state machines:

Interestingly, the PDF is smaller. I didn't tweak anything to get
this - this was the completely naive "create postscript from the nroff
that generates the .txt" and "create pdf from that postscript"
workflow that we've been using for years.
On the other hand, I created what ghostscript (AFPL Ghostscript SVN
PRE-RELEASE 8.55 (2006-05-20)) claims to be PDF/A (I have to assume
it's -1B since groff doesn't output pdfmark annotations for headers
and footers), and it's much larger:
-rw-r--r-- 1 fenner wheel 1540094 Jun 19 13:18 pimspec-a.pdf
since this one has embedded font subsets even though they're courier,
times and symbol.
