Only if we use floats. There are plenty of situations in which you want to
be able to print at higher resolutions (do I need to remind you that we have
200dpi screens these days?) so sticking to 72 is only going to work with
fractional measures. Mind you I am not really interested to use PJP only for
printing forms or EPS in the long term - I want to use it for some more
general things and 72 dpi is simply not enough granularity on a printer.

What's a PPD?
