If you turn off the ps2ascii simple mode (remove the "-dSIMPLE" 
argument),
GhostScript outputs font and positioning information for each string. 
You
can use that information to eliminate headers & footers, identify 
elements
to tag, and so forth.

Exegenix (http://exegenix.com/) has a commercial solution for converting
PostScript or PDF to XML; it looks intriguing.
