I am not completely sure, but I fear that pstricks (as the name 
suggests) does some trick in PostScript. I don't think that it would be 
wise to rely on that package if our goal would be to create different 
forms of output (dvi, ps, pdf, html, ...).

Can someone convince me that one can convert from ps to other formats 
easily?
