Rather than
-- The jmMirrorAttrTable provides efficient access to all of the

-- job set and job index (modern object-oriented access) as in the
-- analogous jmAttributeTable.
I request deletion of the word "efficient" in the above. I think,
when we developed the tables we have, we did so because we felt it
was efficient. I think both methods are efficient based on
different perspectives and, therefor, there is no need to
embellish the paragraph.

Subject: Re: JMP> Proposal for addition of an OPTIONAL mirror attribu
Tom,
I support your proposal to add the optional mirror attribute table to t=
he
Job MIB. However, I would like to suggest the following text in place =
of
your proposed text. My changes eliminate much of the very repetitive t=
ext
that was included in your original draft.
Also, you state that section 3.3 contains a description of
jmMirrorAttrTable, but you did not provide any changes to this section
with this description. (My revised text still contains this reference.=
