    Craig, great draft, thanks. And faster than a speeding email.
     
    A few minor suggestions:
     
    - The DMTF Change Request Number will eventually be the official number
    assigned by CIMCore. We will have to keep track of our requests by some
    other naming/numbering scheme.
     
    - The Short Description should really be short, I think, caption-like, a
    dozen-ish words. In this case, I would suggest something along the
    lines of "PWG editorial changes to CIM_Printer, phase 1."
     
    - Dependencies: I don't think that this CR depends on the approval of
    any others. I would suggest that we leave this empty or "None." On the
    other hand, some fo the later CRs might depend on this one, if we have
    several in the pipeline simultaneously.
     
    - I think we could use a really short paragraph at the beginning of the
    Requested Change section to remind people that these are all changes to
    the properties of the CIM_Printer class. You know, "Replace the text in
    the property descriptions of CIM_Printer.mof as follows."
     
    - Can we move the normative document references to the end of the Change
    section? Kind of distracting at the front.
     
    - Good to have the section numbers in Ira's doc for our cross-checking,
    but I assume we will lose those in the final draft.
     
    - Really good idea, I think, to have the line number in the MOF file.
    We could say "line ####" to make it unmistakable.
     
    Again, thanks.
