    Last Tuesday during the PWG/FSG meeting in Portland we had a discussion
    about the IPP print-quality attribute and FSG's desire to add two new
    values, "economy" and "fine", where "economy" is lower than "draft" and
    "fine" is higher than "high". After some discussion we all pretty much
    decided that it is not possible to add these new values to the already
    existing "draft", "normal", and "high" values because of the current
    definitions of the existing values (high is defined as the highest quality
    and draft is defined as the lowest quality). It also seemed like what FSG
    wanted was a way to specify print optimization and not additional levels of
    print quality.

    The FSG working group met today, and based on the input from last Tuesday's
    meeting, we would like to propose the addition of a new attribute, called
    print-optimize, that is defined as follows:

       print-optimize (type2 keyword)

          This attribute refines the value specified by the print-quality
          attribute.

          The standard keyword values are:

             'image': optimize for image clarity
             'photo': optimize for photo clarity
             'text': optimize for text clarity
             'text-and-image': optimize for both text and image clarity
             'save-toner': optimize for minimal toner usage
             'speed': optimize for printing speed

    We would appreciate your feedback on this proposal including suggestions
    for additional values.

    If this proposal looks good, we would like to propose that it be included
    in the JobX Spec. If the print-optimize attribute is approved by PWG by the
    end of August, then we can propose that it be added to the JDF 1.2 Spec
    that is being finalized in early September.

    Thank you for your time and feedback.
