Pt/pd on papyrus

Any thoughts?

I was watching one of those National Geographic documentaries the other
day, and they were talking about documents on papyrus. It's such a
beautiful material, and I think it would be a lot of fun to make prints on
it.

I'd really like to try pt/pd printing on papyrus, but I've been told that
papyrus will dissolve in vinegar (acid).

My question is, first off, is the vinegar rumor true? And if so, what do
you all think my chances are with putting it through the pt/pd chemistry
(developed with either pot ox or ammonium citrate)?
