[IPP] Preparing to post JPS2v2 First Draft, but want to poke at current JPS2 one more time

Hi Smith,

I disagree about your suggestion for a strange job state lifecycle for
"proof-print".
All jobs should complete when they have finished producing output.  Leaving
that
original job in in 'processing-stopped' state is reinventing the audit
trail problems
of the deprecated Restart-Job operation from RFC 2911, for no visible
benefit.

The person who did the original "proof-print" (a document author) may well
NOT
be the person who makes the final fifty copies (an admin or project leader).

Cheers,
- Ira
