    Don,

    Please note that the Media document was never part of the IPP WG work, it
    was a separate task taken on by the PWG in response to a request from the
    UPnP group. I hope that there will be a small slot somewhere in the overall
    PWG agenda to look over the Media document and at least decide whether we
    should have one or several documents before publishing.

    There is no IPP meeting scheduled for Portland at the request of the IPP
    chair
    nor is there a UPD meeting in Portland. With IPP fax having only 3/4 of a
    day,
    I can't be sure there would be time to fit this discussion in there. I do
    not
    want to entertain technical discussions at the Plenary as it is a business
    meeting (not a technical one.)

    So unless a small group wants to schedule an informal meeting one
    evening......

    All,

    As a last minute comment I would like to suggest extending the time to
    finish this document to span the next PWG meeting.

    It seems to me that there is still too much discussion and too many lose
    ends to close and publish this document quite yet...

    Ron,

    Unfortunately, I checked the wrong delivery service on the web site when I
    ordered the ASME Y14.1M a week ago Friday and it is being delivered by truck
    from New Jersey to LA and won't arrive until next Tuesday or Wednesday. The
    guy who I could get the numbers over the phone when home early today, so
    we're out of luck. I'm on vacation next week.

    So maybe we add these sizes later, perhaps as a corrigendum or during last
    call.

    Tom

    I just ordered a copy from the ASME. It should be here next Tuesday.

    Tom,

    I do not have access to ASME-Y14.1M, so I am unable to do this
    research. Do you have a copy?

    IPP (RFC2911) has a number of media names that include engineering sizes
    taken from [ASME-Y14.1M]. For some reason we only included them as media
    names (e.g., iso-a1x3-transparent), and not as media size names (e.g.,
    iso-a1x3) in IPP. These size names are:

    iso-a1x3, iso-a1x4
    iso-a2x3, iso-a2x4, iso-a2x5
    iso-a3x3, iso-a3x4, iso-a3x5, iso-a3x6, iso-a3x7
    iso-a4x3, iso-a4x4, iso-a4x5, iso-a4x6, iso-a4x7, iso-a4x8, iso-a4x9

    Should we add them?

    Someone should look at [ASME-Y14.1M] and get the proper length dimensions
    (which aren't in IPP), to go with the width dimensions which are in IPP.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    The latest version is now available at:

    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/media-sizes/pwg-media-05.pdf

    The major change is the merging of the envelope sizes
    with the other tables and the separation of the media
    type with the size. In addition I have added the
    definition of a format for custom media types and color
    per a request from Norbert.

    There are still two open issues that I am waiting for
    clarification from Tom.

    1. Tom added a reference [REG] in section 3, but no
    corresponding entry in the References section.

    2. The ABNF for the size name in section 5.1 may be
    incorrect. I am not an ABNF expert, but I believe that
        | "-" | "-" ) should be simply | "-" )

    I will try to attend the IPP teleconference tomorrow
    to discuss any other issues concerning this document.
