We have recently discovered that Adobe Illustrator EPSF files include
the Document Structuring Comment %%PageTrailer, but don't have
a corresponding %%Page.  The various specs don't say that 
these two comments must be used in matched pairs but it seems
stronly implied by the examples of the "well-structured" document.
It confuses our post-processing software and I should think it might
wreak havoc with other post-processing software like page spoolers.
Any ideas on why it was done this way or comments on its correctness?
