I would most heartily agree with that statement, and since a single PostScript
output could be printed on a wide variety of PostScript printers, that
rasterization should take place within the printer (or printer driver).
PostScript output also needs to be scalable to allow it to be incorporated
into other documents without loss of resolution. As a secondary concern, I
would also want to see PostScript output written in a diskspace-efficient way,
because it's quite common for us to send PostScript files through the mail and
serve them up on the internet.
