I got confused by your message, but I think you're objecting to the fact
that dictionaries can have other dictionaries as keys.  This is
specified in the red book, page 30, in the second paragraph of the
'Dictionary' section:

	"Keys are normally name objects; the PostScript syntax and the
	interpreter are optimized for this most common case.  However, a
	key may be any PostScript object except null ..."

So NeWS is simply complying with the red book.
