I'm curious why you would choose DVI. TeX has the benefit of being
text-based and hackable. PostScript is also text-based but less hackable
(in practice). I'd always presumed that if TeX were written today it would
output PS or PDF directly, rather through DVI.

Can we afford to remain passive, 
 while that soldier-army is growing so massive?
