Storing the jobsetup partially in XML incidentally would violate the ODF spec as
it is, wouldn't it ? Anyway that would be a file format change.

The current text is quite right: the binary blob is mostly what comes out of a
printer driver; it's a DEVMODE structure on Windows. On other systems its is
also some blob known only to the printer implementation.

Garnished around that are a few vcl internal enums caching parts of the driver
blob as they come out of system dependent print API accessing that blob.

On top of that this is data that can be used only on the same system and the
same printer, a method to store driver settings you can access through the
native print driver dialogs. That it is stored in the actual document stream is
more of a historical accident IMHO, this would have belonged into meta data (if
we had had them at the time ;-) )
