Tom,
Perhaps the IETF is taking issue with the fact that we invented a new
information model, built on top of SNMP/SMI, and then just went ahead and
implemented the first instance of this new model, all in one MIB module.
Perhaps we should have published a generic definition of the new model first
as a stand-alone document, and then published the JMP MIB as an example
implementation.
Thanks,
Ang

Informational
The PWG Job Monitoring MIB has been approved by the IESG to be sent out as
an
Informational RFC. However, the IESG doesn't approve of our modeling of
management information. By this I assume they mean the attribute mechanism
that we invented to handle the great variability between implementations.
They also don't recognize the PWG as a standards making body according to
the note.

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Job Monitoring MIB - V1'
<draft-ietf-printmib-job-monitor-07.txt> as an Informational RFC. This
document is the product of the Printer MIB Working Group. The IESG

Note to RFC Editor:
The IESG requests the following text be included as an IESG Note:
This MIB module uses an unconventional scheme for modeling
management information (on top of the SNMP model) which is unique to
this MIB. The IESG recommends against using this document as an
example for the design of future MIBs.
The "Printer Working Group" industry consortium is not an IETF
working group, and the IETF does not recognize the Printer Working
Group as a standards-setting body. This document is being published
solely to provide information to the Internet community regarding a
MIB that might be deployed in the marketplace. Publication of
this document as an RFC is not an endorsement of this MIB.
