That would also mean we are going to keep them in sync with new release,
i.e. you can generate them automatically? Then I'm all for it! I just
want to avoid the RTAI effect: documentation all over the place, but

Hmm, and I wonder why you were able to compress a PDF that much. I
thought PDF can do this fairly well on its own.
