I believe we had decided to do a single spec with two chapters/sections, one for job ticket and one for PrintServiceCapabilities.PrintJobTicketCapabilities, PrintServiceDefaults.DefaultPrintJobTicket and PrintServiceDescription since PPD and MS PSF both provide this information and there really isn't much material to put in that second chapter/section (stuff all of the supported into capabilities, the default job ticket in DefaultPrintJobTicket, and the following descriptive elements in PrintServiceDescription).

(sadly it looks like I either forgot to include that in the minutes or am remembering wrong, but I think it makes a lot of sense to include both the full job ticket mapping along with the thin PrintService discussion...)

Ira, currently Google uses PPD and PSF (what they are calling XPS) for both job ticket and capabilities/description/defaults, and since the two are closely tied together (same source data) it makes sense to "draw a picture" in the mapping spec to show how is all holds together (or doesn't, as the case may be...)  It is not enough to show them how to map from PWG to PPD or PSF, we need to provide the glue for the reverse mapping, too, otherwise there is no path to full PWG SM adoption.

In the interests of using concall time effectively, I request that those who prefer different wording or abbreviations post their preferred version, and that discussion be focused on content. One issue that needs to be resolved is under comment W1. “Considering that Semantic Model V2 is not yet formalized, but represents the preferred model, what do we use as a reference? If the to be issued PJT, do we loose mapping to the SM elements related to printer description?”
