A few quibbles

The author recommends using discretionary hyphens in case of text reflow. For the same reason, I prefer to use a non-breaking space to tie words together when fixing a dirty rag. Forced line returns must be individually stripped out if text reflows subsequent to editing or layout changes.

Just because a designer supplies InDesign or PDF files to a print provider does not make that designer knowledgeable about prepress issues. I have been lead prepress operator in a commercial printing company for 16 years, and I've seen horrible problems with Mac InDesign and PDF files and impeccable PC CorelDraw files.
