Smith,
The date-time-at-creation attribute doesn't have a no-value in the syntax because the value is set at creation of the job - it will always have a value. The -at-processing value is set when the job enters the processing state and the -at-completed value is set when the job enters a terminating state.
I'll need to research why we changed printer-current-time to allow no-value - it shouldn't. Either the printer supports printer-current-time or not. If the current time is unknown (waiting to get network time or have the date/time set through other mean) the value should be the unknown out-of-band value.

When I started digging into those attributes, I discovered that some attributes, such as "date-time-at-processing" or "date-time-at-completed", are defined as (dateTime | no-value) while others such as "date-time-at-creation" or "printer-current-time" are simply defined to be of type "dateTime". And yet the description of "printer-current-time" in even the latest draft of RFC 2911bis allowed the attribute to have the out-of-band value 'no-value'.
