    I think the main odd thing is that they are formatted in landscape, so they
    are on the wide side for viewing on the screen. They're probably easier to
    read printed - my guess is that these were originally formatted as html, and
    whoever created them had their distiller set to landscape.

    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?
