Don't get me wrong. The idea of PDF/A is great, the idea of using it
is too... but judging by the Wikipedia entry, the actual implementation
seems to be a mess, with several "levels", one semi-official validator
and a whole bunch of pairwise incompatible validators.

So just specifying PDF/A sounds like a sadistic torture coming out of
Catbert's Evil Human Resources Department :-)
