I would think that time could be controlled to the extent that the 
engraving profession is filled only with truly honorable people who 
wouldn't cheat just to gain a point or two in a competition.

If we are worrying about people not being honest in the plug-ins used or 
the amount of time spent on a page, then there isn't any point in doing 
any of this, is there?  They could simply get a plate-engraver to do the 
whole thing, scan it in and submit it as a PDF file!
