Nope, and even then I had to leave stuff out .. when you can't expect the
readers to be aware of anything related to multihoming, things will get 
noisy.

And as I've said before, I fail to see how it actually solves the relevant
multihoming problem then :-).  Clearly this seems to be somethng that
needs to be said more clearly.. Having geographical addresses that are
specific to an ISP is a complete non-solution, we aren't worried about 
the scalability of provider-internal geo more specifics...

The use of fonts which are not included by default in PDF.  I'd have to 
put that through Adobe Distiller or do some tricks, which I didn't bother 
yet.
