Hmmm...not entirely happy with this unfortunately. We have a webapp that using
a flex wysiwyg editor allows creation of print materials but that uses adobe's
pdf browser plugin for end-user proofing and approval. In some cases we'd
rather display the trimbox iso the mediabox so my guess is we should be able to
control the CropBox setting, no?

Perhaps a name change for the attribute is sufficient? E.g. something like
crop-box-selector, or crop-box-source or something similar?
