It means DSC 2.0, the trailing numbers are the DSC version. I think 
that's documented in the DSC tech note.

Indeed quickly chcking the tech note makes it clear this is the case.

 Note that technically this isn't quite what the spec says. It says that 
the presence of the string "%!PS-Adobe-3.0" means its a DSC 3.0 
conforming file, and that "PS-Adobe-2.1" was a DSC 2.1 conforming file. 
It doesn't actually *say* that the version number is encoded as part of 
the string. In practice this is irrelevant, there are only Adobe DSC 
versions documented.

I would :-)
