Ron,
I will be able to attend the Portland meeting (UPnP, PWG, and IPP FAX), so
I'll volunteer to lead the discussion and collaborate with Ron after the
meeting.
I agree that the "all-in-one" is the real open issue and whether it should
be included in the current document or made a separate document. I think it
depends on the schedule from the UPnP group and whether or not they are
going to use our format. If they need something stable and approved before
we can agree on the "all-in-one" naming, then we should make the all in one
a separate document.
About the appendix to indicate which objects and attributes of existing
standards are intended to use which Names in our standard, I think it is
very important to include it in the Media Names standard. So I disagree
about not including it. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for
implementers to know which Names we intend as extensions to which objects
and attributes in these existing standards (RFC 1759, IPP, and ISTO-IEEE
5100.3). Think about the implementers that aren't even on our mailing
lists....

All,
I agree with Carl-Uno's suggestion for extending the time to
finish this document. Unfortunately I cannot attend the next
meeting. So we will need a volunteer to lead the discussion
and capture the results.
I believe that the only real open issues concern the
"all-in-one" format and if it should be included in this
document or as a separate standard.
There is also Tom's proposal for another appendix that specifies
how existing standards are to use the Media standard. I have not
seen any comment on this so I assume that no one cares either
positively or negatively. I personally don't believe that this
is necessary and should not be included. Any one disagree?

All,
As a last minute comment I would like to suggest extending the time to
finish this document to span the next PWG meeting.
It seems to me that there is still too much discussion and too many lose
ends to close and publish this document quite yet...

Ron,
Unfortunately, I checked the wrong delivery service on the web site when I
ordered the ASME Y14.1M a week ago Friday and it is being delivered by truck
from New Jersey to LA and won't arrive until next Tuesday or Wednesday. The
guy who I could get the numbers over the phone when home early today, so
we're out of luck. I'm on vacation next week.
So maybe we add these sizes later, perhaps as a corrigendum or during last
call.
Tom

I just ordered a copy from the ASME. It should be here next Tuesday.

Tom,
I do not have access to ASME-Y14.1M, so I am unable to do this
research. Do you have a copy?

IPP (RFC2911) has a number of media names that include engineering sizes
taken from [ASME-Y14.1M]. For some reason we only included them as media
names (e.g., iso-a1x3-transparent), and not as media size names (e.g.,
iso-a1x3) in IPP. These size names are:
iso-a1x3, iso-a1x4
iso-a2x3, iso-a2x4, iso-a2x5
iso-a3x3, iso-a3x4, iso-a3x5, iso-a3x6, iso-a3x7
iso-a4x3, iso-a4x4, iso-a4x5, iso-a4x6, iso-a4x7, iso-a4x8, iso-a4x9
Should we add them?
Someone should look at [ASME-Y14.1M] and get the proper length dimensions
(which aren't in IPP), to go with the width dimensions which are in IPP.
Thanks,
Tom

The latest version is now available at:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/media-sizes/pwg-media-05.pdf
The major change is the merging of the envelope sizes
with the other tables and the separation of the media
type with the size. In addition I have added the
definition of a format for custom media types and color
per a request from Norbert.
There are still two open issues that I am waiting for
clarification from Tom.
1. Tom added a reference [REG] in section 3, but no
corresponding entry in the References section.
2. The ABNF for the size name in section 5.1 may be
incorrect. I am not an ABNF expert, but I believe that
| "-" | "-" ) should be simply | "-" )
I will try to attend the IPP teleconference tomorrow
to discuss any other issues concerning this document.
