It would be nice to be able to tell xdvipdfmx e.g. at the start of a
document or from some page on "always use this object (only or
additionally) for /ExtGState". But if it doesn't fit well into the
rest of the xdvipdfmx code, it is isn't really a must -- using
\AtBeginShipout to add the resource works. It shouldn't
led to awkward or fragile code.
