This is a really *bad* idea. The CreationDate and ModDate are normally filled
in at the time the document is created. You can override them in PostScript,
but you can't override the XMP metadata creation that way.

As a result the two will not match if you do that. It is not intended that it
is possible to create a false CreationDate and/or ModDate by using PostScript.
