<br>
I respectfully disagree with your whole premise.<br>
<br>
The PWG collaborated very successfully with Adobe<br>
to develop PWG PDF/is - a subset and a profile of <br>
Adobe PDF.<br>
<br>
While PDF/1.7 later became the ISO 32000 standard,<br>
in 2004 the PWG was delighted to collaborate with our <br>
lead editor Rick Seeler from Adobe on PDF/is.<br>
<br>
I see no reason to treat PWG CUPS Raster any<br>
differently.<br>
<br>
Names of attributes (prefixes) are probably suitable<br>
discussion topics.<br>
<br>
But the idea that PWG should only specify a PWG raster <br>
format from scratch would set a bad precedent.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
- Ira<br>

size=1><span style='font-size:7.0pt'> </span></font>Thus,
there is a great need for a PWG IPP Image format or PWG IPP Raster format;
however, I believe that specifying it as a subset of the specific open-source
or vendor product is not in line with PWG standards practices. This is
not to say that is could not have a normative or informative reference to a
specific open-source or vendor product but it should stand on its own with ties
to a specific open-source or vendor product. Also, it should not use
attribute names or variables that are identified with a specific open-source or
vendor product.<o:p></o:p></p>

aware of other entities that wish to use an established format (i.e. CUPS

size=1><span style='font-size:7.0pt'> </span></font>The
specific open-source or vendor product that is being discussed is CUPS.
So, the other concern with a standard that directly references CUPS is that
CUPS is licensed by/under Apple and GPL. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:1.0in'><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>a.</span></font><font
size=1><span style='font-size:7.0pt'> </span></font>I have
not heard or know that Apple has provided a Letter of Assurance on the use by
others for the use a subset of CUPS definition. While, I believe that
Apple would provide LOA upon request.<o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>b.</span></font><font
size=1><span style='font-size:7.0pt'> </span></font>On the
other, if any or part of the content PWG is proposing to use from CUPS was/is
part of CUPS that was/is under GPL before Apple’s ownership; then there
is the question if GPL license applies. Major print vendors may be at
risk of either having to release their source code that is associated with CUPS
content or even being sued by GPL proponents. <o:p></o:p></p>
