    Hi folks, Tuesday (19 October 2004)

    [for discussion at tomorrow's WIMS telecon]

    I have just posted an initial Subunits XML schema v0.10, which validates
    without warnings using XML SPY 2004, XRay 2.0, and XSV 2.5 (the free XML
    Schema Validator) at:

        ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/schemas/subunits-20041019.xsd

    This version completely expresses in XML schema (in alphabetical order)
    the following subunits from the model in the Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805):

        Channel - input job channel
        Console - local device console
        Cover - cover or door
        Input - input tray
        Interface - interface from MIB-II (RFC 1213)

    Note the types 'SubunitCounter[16|32]', 'SubunitIdentifier[16|32]',
    and 'SubunitPointer[16|32]' that add clarity. And the out-of-band
    values in various counters and gauges are handled by new attributes
    using types 'SubunitCounterBasisWKV' and 'SubunitPointerBasisWKV'.

    Cheers,
    - Ira
