Where in the original PLRM are you reading this?  Is it in Appendix C
Structuring Conventions?

That's been split out into its own document now,
PostScript Language. Document Structuring. Conventions Specification
https://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5001.DSC_Spec.pdf

It describes DSC version 3.0 with a version identifier %!PS-Adobe-3.0
