Kevin,

After considerable thought on this subject I have concluded that the best
solution for this request is the addition of a new attribute and textual
convention.  In this manner the orientation of the staple fold can be
defined for any staple operation.

I am also sending this to the FIN mailing list (not only to see if it is
again working but ;-) to get everyone's view.


New textual convention:
----------------------

StitchingDirTypeTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
-- This is a type 1 enumeration.
    STATUS       current
    DESCRIPTION
      "Defines the direction, relative to the top sheet in the output 
       subunit, that the stitching operation was performed.  For a 
       topDown(3) process, the staple will be clinched on the bottom 
       of the stack.  This parameter can be used to determine what 
       order the pages of a booklet are to be printed such that the 
       staple clinch will be on the inside of the resulting booklet."
    SYNTAX       INTEGER {
         unknown(2),
         topDown(3),
         bottomUp(5)
        }


New Attribute to define "Stitching Direction":
---------------------------------------------

         stitchingDirection(30),            StitchingDirTypeTC
            INTEGER:  Defines the orientation of the stitching 
              process.


Please comment by Friday, Sept 18.  I would like to get an updated draft
out prior to the Savannah meeting.
