Is %%EOF more than a comment in EPS?

Contrary to regular PostScript (PS) files, some comments in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file have a special meaning. For example, they must start with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 and have a special %%BoundingBox: ... comment.

Now I've noticed that most EPS files, including the examples given in the EPS specification, end with a %%EOF comment. Yet, that same specification does not mention EOF anywhere else.

Is this just a convention, or will bad things happen if my self-generated EPS files do not have a final %%EOF line?
