Smith,

Thanks for this, I will update the F2F slide accordingly...

FWIW, the current text still adds the save password to job-save-disposition which has the unfortunate security implication of exposing the password as part of the job ticket.  I also think we still need to better define the use cases and flow of information - not only for definition of the attribute(s) but for the security considerations.  Finally, I think our discussions on encrypted documents may overlap with this one... :/

If so,I'd recommend that the attributes be called "job-save-password[-xxx]" to make that clearer, and add some discussion of that.
