All of the other mappings for IPP to JMP have the same attribute syntax
with the exception of the "sides" attribute and the "job-state-reasons"
attribute.  We have a note for the "job-state-reasons" attribute
explaining that IPP uses keywords and JMP uses bits.  We should have the
same kind of a note for "sides".


In IPP the data type for "sides" is 'keyword' which is a us-ascii string.  
In JMP it is an 'integer' (not an enum).  So I feel strongly that a note 
needs to be included to indicate this difference in syntax.


If the issue is the size or complexity of the note, I offer the following
alternative notes from simplest to more complex/detailed for Note 2:


a. Simplest:


2. In JMP the sides attribute has the ingeter values '1' and '2' and
three keyword values in IPP.


b. More detailed:


2. In JMP the sides attribute has the integer value '1' or '2'.  In IPP,
the "sides" attribute has the three keyword values: 'one-sided',
'two-sided-long-edge', and 'two-sided-short-edge'.
