Point taken, but from my scanty reading about ps, it would be possible 
to have a kind of word processor which used ps as its file format.  
And, as I understand it, pdf is in effect a kind of ps wrapper with 
some sort of compression, so the same should be true for pdf.  It ought 
to be possible, surely, to have a reverse interpreter for ps that could 
import a file back into lyx or the like.  But a much cruder ps-parser 
and rewriter would be very useful.
