<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi Glen,<br>
<br>
With respect to 'fast tracking' of PWG Raster spec, note <br>
that the status phases Initial/Interim/Protoype/Stable must <br>
occur, per PWG Process/3.0.<br>
<br>
Except for waiving the PWG Process/3.0 requirement<br>
for a PWG Last Call to span a PWG face-to-face, there<br>
is little the PWG Steering Committee can do to 'fast<br>
track' this spec.<br>
<br>
And during the Prototype phase an actual prototype of <br>
substantial amounts of the base spec must be performed, <br>
reported on, and reviewed by the IPP WG.<br>
<br>
For comparison, PDF/is had *every* required and <br>
optional field prototyped. Wire formats need to be<br>
very stable before adopting them.<br>
<br>
I can't speak to Mike Sweet's editing priorities, but the<br>
main IPP Everywhere (profiles) and IPP JPS3 specs<br>
are high priority for their Cloud Imaging WG and MFD<br>
WG impacts.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
- Ira<br>
