I am not at all a PostScript expert - is it valid to place coordinates
beyond the limits of the bounding box? (similar question for GRASS's
symbol format)

i.e. 0.71 PostScript points? I'm not sure that I follow.

In the wiki help page I had written "Color and width of patterns are set
by [vareas] fcolor and width instructions until overwritten in the pattern
