That said, PDF 1.4 is getting really old now (Nov 2001 according to Adobe's
website). Maybe just upgrading to PDF 1.5 as a minimal version, which is the
simplest, would be ok for users.

That's the other possibility, but that would require some work.

And throw an exception if a feature requiring PDF 1.5 is being used? Hmmm. Why
not. Maybe a bit simpler to implement than the previous solution. Although,
"yet another extension", etc.
