Hi Pete,

I didn't make myself clear about DocumentFormat.

IMHO, *all*  MFD services need DocumentFormat.

FaxIn doesn't have it (search the schema), including
in the FaxInJobTicket.

Which I think breaks the model that FaxIn receives
images and processes them in a manner conceptually
similar to Scan and then sends the document to one
or more destinations.

In the FaxInJob life cycle (which I'm writing up) there
are several important steps:

0) Incoming Fax call and negotiated connection (PSTN
    or Internet Fax email transport)

1) Implicit CreateFaxInJob by System (as JobOwner)
    - FaxInService searches AvailableFaxInJobTickets

2) Implicit AddFaxInDocument by System
    - FaxInService stores images (streaming or as a block)

3) Implicit CloseFaxInJob by System
    - FaxInService processes document;
      sends to one or more destinations; and
      logs Job metadata to FaxLogUri

Certainly by the time of Job/Document creation, it
seems that any MFD job must have DocumentFormat?

Cheers,
- Ira
