Tom,
Thanks for getting your comments in, in time for the f2f. I had a few
responses, and I put them inline below, where I have liberally snipped to
get down to only those topics where I had a response. My comments are
marked by <dmc></dmc>.

10. About DMC ISSUE 07:
DMC ISSUE07: I definitely believe that we need a "Document-equivalent" of
job-collation-type. It would have different semantics, since the Job level
semantics include the concept of documents, but I believe that since it is
useful to know whether a Job is doing collated or uncollated copies, it
would also be useful to know the same for Documents.
I disagree. If we did add a Document attribute, it would need to have the
same value as at the Job Level, since you can't collate some documents and
not collate other documents in the same job. We don't duplicate on the
Document object other Job level attributes that apply to the job as a
whole,
such as "job-name", "job-hold", "job-priority", "job-finishing".
<dmc>
Maybe I'm not understanding. Can't you specify the "copies" attribute at
the Document level? Therefore, you could have a Job that was made up of 1
copy of Document 1, 3 copies of Document 2, and 1 copy of Document 3,
couldn't you? If you did, you might want to know if the 3 copies of Doc2
were collated or uncollated. I must be missing something--is there a
section that would straighten me out?

15. about Editorial07:
'completed-successfully' : The Document completed successfully. There were
no warnings or errors in printing. This value SHOULD be supported.
[rfc2911] ?4.3.8
'completed-with-warnings' : The print part of the Document completed with
warnings (whether or not there were save errors). This value SHOULD be
supported if the implementation detects warnings. [rfc2911] ?4.3.8 DMC
Editorial07: What are "save errors"? Why does this reason and the next
reason use the words "The print part of" when the previous reason doesn't?
'completed-with-errors' : The print part of the Document completed with
errors (and possibly warnings too) (whether or not there were save errors).
This value SHOULD be supported if the implementation detects errors.
[rfc2911] ?4.3.8
When saving a job, the Job is really two parts: the print part and the save
part. With 'completed-successfully' both parts are successful. Sounds
like
this description could be improved. How about adding to
'completed-successfully' "(or saving)" at the end of the second sentence?
<dmc>
Where did this concept of "saving a job" come from?

16. about Editorial08
DMC Editorial08 for Pete: This attribute's description, as well as the next
11 or so, have the name of the Job Description attribute added between the
"[rfc2911]" and the "$x.x". This is not done anywhere else in this
document, and should be gotten rid of, I believe. If it makes sense here,
we have to look at everywhere else it might make sense.
I agree it probably makes sense to remove the name of the attribute and
just
say "This OPTIONAL Document Description attribute ...", since the sentence
comes right after the heading.
<dmc>
I wasn't complaining about the attribute name at the start of the paragraph
(I admit I was tempted to, but successfully resisted :-), but instead about
the attribute name between the reference and the section number. </dmc>
