Great. I thought this should also be contained somewhere in the DSC
Spec (5001), the EPS Spec (5002) or the PLRM, but I couldnt't find
anything about the HiResBoundingBox in any of those books ... I just
took a look and couldn't find anything. I'm wondering about the PDF
thing you quote (I don't have this document and the link above doesn't
properly resolve). Also note, that in PDF floating point numbers are
not allowed to contain exponentials, while in PostScript they are
allowed to have those.
