Tom, I think you missed my point here,

TOM SAID

HARRY HAD SAID

>>>Most attributes are either the requested value or the consumed (updated

>>>outputBinIndex*56
>>>outputBinIndex*56
>>>outputBinName*56
>>>sides*56
>>>documentFormatIndex*56
>>>documentFormatEnum*56
>>>physicalDeviceIndex*57
>>>physicalDeviceName*57

Key word in my statements is REQUESTED. I was trying to make the point,
regarding requested/consumed, that requested is unnessary for these
attributes. Can you give me an example of why they would be needed?
