Acrobat Distiller, the PDF specification, and coding style

Was running pstoedit on a PDF file today and got the following error message:

**** This file had errors that were repaired or ignored.
**** The file was produced by:
**** >>>> Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 (Windows) <<<<
**** Please notify the author of the software that produced this
**** file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
**** specification.

Seems that either pstoedit is not telling the truth or Adobe did not read their own specification when implementing their PDF creation tool. I wonder whether I should send them a note...

Then someone posted some coding styles on Slashdot that are obviously used by some developers of projects I am involved in. This page is definitely worth reading!
