    Today's WIMS conference call was attended by Bill, Ira, Rick, Harry

    Latest LCRC posted (links below) with the most recent changes marked.
    Also, change marks remain in section 3 as these changes require further
    review before acceptance.
    In this edit, largely, the counter tables were revised to leverage
    terminology definitions from section 2, thereby simplifying the table
    entries and improving accuracy by eliminating redundant definitions.

    I removed the use of "user's Job Datastream" by reducing this to "user's
    Datastream" as the definition of Datastream already says that it comes
    from a user document (or image stream). I really don't even like the word
    "user's" in front of Datastream, but I left it. I would argue (by our
    definitions) that we have "User Mode" and "Datastream" and these terms are
    sufficient.

    Also, we were using a mix of "impressions produced", "impressions
    printed", "impressions generated" and other various ordering of terms
    which I normalized to "impressions generated" wherever I felt it was
    appropriate.

    On today's call, we modified some of the definition of terms in section 2.
    Among others, we reworded the definition for "Work" (key, was removing
    "Work" from the definition of Work). After the call, I took further
    liberty with the definition of Work, attempting to simplify and clarify by
    referencing other defined terms which is a basic theme of today's edits.
