PDF-related news for today: The PDF file of US President Bush's
Strategy for Victory in Iraq speech contains hidden in the document's properties the name of
Peter Feaver, a Duke University political science professor.
The discovery that Feaver was the originator of the plan has stirred controversy in Washington. The New York Times has reported that Feaver co-authored an analysis of surveys regarding the popularity of the Iraq war with the American public and concluded that citizens will support the war, despite fairly heavy casualties, as long as they believe it will ultimately succeed.
My humble advice to the government: ban Adobe PDF and advocate open standards instead.
