> 1. The new paragraph added to section 6 is good to have:
> 
> "A Sender MUST NOT use any OPTIONAL feature in PDFax unless 
> it first queries the Receiver to confirm that the Receiver 
> supports the feature.  If the feature is not supported in the 
> Receiver then the Sender MUST NOT use the OPTIONAL feature. A 
> Sender MUST NOT use any feature that is prohibited in PDFax 
> [ifx-pdfax] specification."
> 
> 1a. However, it would be better to put it in the Conformance 
> Section 15 or somewhere else.  The conformance section 15 
> needs to make reference to it.
> 
> 1b. Section 1.1, point number 1 isn't as strong as your new paragraph:
> 
> "1. Get-Printer-Attributes - Sender MUST verify that the 
> Printer object is an (IPPFAX) Receiver and SHOULD determine 
> some of the Receiver's basic capabilities, such as PDFax 
> profiles supported."
> 
> This paragraph only says SHOULD, but paragraph 2:
> 
> "2. Validate-Job - Sender MUST verify that the Receiver can 
> support the Job attributes that the Sender will send in the 
> IPPFAX Job."
> 
> requires that the Sender do a Validate-Job in order to ensure 
> that unsupported attributes are not being submitted.
> 
> 
> 2. The keywords in the new table 5 and 6 need to be made all 
> lower case and use hyphens between words to follow IPP keyword rules.
