Pars, I have published the exact same file (not even a single word changed) with a complete different hash. You can find it here http://pages.cs.aueb.gr/~fotiou/files/output.pdf Hashing is about protecting file representation (its bytes if you will) and not the actual file content. Perceptual hash would have probably done that job better.
In any case I think this "standard" has received more attention from the list, that it deserves.
