(duplex, flip, rotate); therefore, transforms data and information are part of
the Job Ticket and the raster must be transformed to the correct orientation required
so that the printer (or any consumer of the raster) does not know or have to perform
the transforms. Raster data means the data is rastered-out and should not
require additional transforms (scaling might be an exception); the transforms
here may require the printer to have rotation buffers which could be large and
expensive to implement; not desirable.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
I agree with Mike here in objecting to registering these fields.<br>
<br>
PWG standards are supposed to only contain fields/attributes<br>
that *could* be tested in an interoperability event. It's not<br>
plausible that a typical streaming client would know the size <br>
when it's very large (when the feature's useful), so such a<br>
feature's not interoperable or verifiable.<br>

anything. I do not understand your comment “that just won’t
