--- Comment #25 from Dave Gilbert <[email protected]> ---
Two thoughts about the use of trailers:
  a) Without a trailer, I don't understand how a hybrid loader is supposed to
understand that a PDF embedded file is actually a hybrid PDF rather than just a
PDF that happens to have an attached; A PDF could have loads of embedded files
and none of them actually represent the same contents as the PDF (e.g. maybe
include raw data spreadsheets or something with an explanatory PDF).

  b) caolanm's performance hack  - 'detectHasAdditionalStreams' from ~2023 -
sniffs the trailer at the end of the file to make a quick detection about
whether it might be a hybrid.  So if the use of the trailer disappears you lose
that performance trick.

(Oh, and does anyone understand why we have the /DocChecksum ?  Was that
intended to detect if the pdf and hybrid diverge due to an external editor?)
