PostScript is, but if you read the Red Book (admittedly, second edition, 1990), The PostScript code surrounding an EPS must deal with the page description (in fact, must do such things as redefine the showpage command before enclosing the EPS code in the document). EPS should not be used to define page characteristics, etc.
Not meaning to be a contrarian, but far too many programs have broken PostScript output by forgetting/ignoring this part of the standard. In a previous life as a digital printer, Corel was a consistent offender, and from what I hear, still is. I have not had any issues that I can point to Scribus' PostScript output (well done, folks!), so let's not make a mis-statement that may cause this in the future. :-) We now return you to your regular programming...
