    Hi,

    Note - from personal experience, the PDF versions of the WSMF
    documents are completely illegible (_tiny_ font sizes) in the
    PDF "printable" versions on a bright SVGA screen in Acrobat.
    To view them requires at least 150% magnification (which makes
    the paragraphs unreadable).

    Hint - for viewing on your computer screen, download the
    HTML versions (behind the '.jsp' links - yuck!). Then you
    can bump up the font size (e.g., using the Text Size tab in
    the View menu in MS Internet Explorer).

    Bob Taylor - could you send the HP authors a request to build
    PDF versions without the extremly small font sizes, please?
    There are no email contact addresses listed in these specs
    (that I can find).

    Thanks,

    Bob, regarding HP's recent submission to Oasis - Web Services Management
    Framework - do you see this as a preferred path to web services based
    printer, mfp and print services management than PWG WBMM? If so, do you have
    any recommendations as to how we can prevent several organizations
    reinventing similar solutions and semantics and what the optimal PWG
    contribution might be?
