Andrew,

Is there any value to checking if a PDF contains a Marked entry with the
value of true as referred to in the 10.7 of the PDF spec? I see a lot of
PDFs with a Marked true entry that don't conform to standard structure
types (after accounting for the role map if provided). They definitely
don't often conform to the other items listed in 10.7.1. What is it for?
