"... a pulp suspension with a filler composition comprising finely 
divided optically brightened plastic fibres,...."  There we go.  We are 
headed to polyester/cotton papers that are wash-and-wear!  Sorry, I 
couldn't resist.

Two things from Paul and Ernst bring up are worrisome.

First, PVA's are generally considered a very stable adhesive in the 
conservation and museum community.  If they are now in question it opens 
a whole new area--beyond photography.

Second, there are plastics and there are plastics.  Any that give off 
"plasticizers" will be an issue.
