Why should i bug them? They didn't ask you to implement it the way you did.
At some point, somebody decided to omit the HiResBoundingBox. So I was curious
whether you know why. Obviously you don't.

My point why it should always be there? Simplicity (less logic in the code) and
uniformity (the output file always has the same format). Not very strong
points, rather weak ones.
