spec-fdf and spec-pdf are occasionally extended (but nowadays pdf itself 
is not so much evolving)

there will bea dedicated luatex/mkiv backend module next year; first i 
need to rewrite lots of other code (currently i'm redoing the reference 
related code, and when that's done, the backend rewriting is easier)
