Ron,
Thanks for the review. I'll cover your comments one by one.
1. I want the "-actual" proposal to extend both IPP 1.1 AND 1.0. That is,
some implementer that implements 1.0 (maybe they can't do 1.1 due to not
doing security?) could still implement the "-actual" extension. I
*definitely* don't want to limit this to only extending IPP 1.1--to tell a
1.0 implementer that to do "-actual"s they also have to do 1.1.
So, I don't understand the situation. If 2565 and 2566 are obsolete, does
that mean IPP 1.0 is "obsolete"? Is it against the rules to extend an
obsolete standard, no matter how many implementations might exist in the
real world? Is there a way to extend 1.0 without breaking any rules (like
maybe just remove the two RFCs from the references section, or make them
Informative References)?
2. I like your suggestion.
3. I don't mind getting rid of that text, but thought it made things
clearer, if not to the editorial reader then to the implementer. What do
others think?
4. Is there a way in Word to tell it not to do that?
5. Tom Hastings was putting together a new "PWG template", and in that, he
was making the argument to use the page numbering and headers you see in
the "-actual" spec, for usability (especially Acrobat Reader) reasons. He
convinced me (and Harry went along) to use the more usable method in this
document. If need be, I can change these.

Technically the document looks very sound. The following comments
are primarily editorial.
1. RFC 2565 and 2566 are obsolete. It is not appropriate to reference
obsolete documents, especially as a normative reference. See
Line 146 (in section 1 Introduction)
Line 228 (in section 3 -actual attributes)
Line 331 - 336 (in section 7.1 Normative References
2. In lines 151 & 152 recommend changing "(or are going to print)" to
"(or are expected to be printed)" to be more consistent with the
example in section 3.3.
3. In line 239 remove "that has the" and all of the text in the
following line. This additional text adds nothing and results in
a sentence that is very difficult to read.
4. In lines 279 and 280 there is a strange split (by WORD) of the
string "-attribute".
5. The formatting of the document is not per ISTO requirements.
Specifically page numbering and headers. Is there a procedure
for format review prior to final publication? I propose that
this needs to be established.
