"A Turing-complete system is one in which the behaviour of a universal
Turing machine can be completely emulated."
Er. That would include compiled binaries, and they're not source; what
does turing completeness have to do with whether a file is source or not?
I think that a PDF is source if it's human-editable, and not if it's
practically uneditable PDF code generated from something else. The
GFDL tries to make this distinction for HTML.
