I could be mistaken; but I didn't see anything in Martin's OP suggesting the 
application was a "Print" application.

That said, I offer the following as evidence the insurance industry is still 
moving very slowly:

Leonard:

I do agree with you and cannot argue as the industry should and will move.
The real question for the OP is/was ... does the customer he is working with
have such hardware/RIP/equipment? Is that was this is targeted for? 

It is a *very* new, moving set of standards and I have yet to see *any* real
implementation in most all major insurance/financial industry customers. And
given the state of their economies, I would doubt they are tooling up to
spend revenues in an area that already works for them.

P.S. I shudder to think of this as a "print" application. Can you imagine a 
10,000-page printed report, i.e., two cases of paper. It seems the distribution 
of printed reports might be the part that MAKES the mission critical. ;-)
