do not agree with the note in the February face-to-face minutes that suggested
that all MFD operations are fully defined in IPP documents and all the overall
document need do is reference them. I have referenced antecedent IPP operations
but, intentionally or not, there are some differences in the MFD Overall reincarnations
and I intend the MFD document to be the definitive document for MFD operations.
Indeed, I would expect some differences in generalizing print service specific
operations. However that may mean that the definitions need to be further
expanded.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'> The
intent is to reintegrate this section into the MFD overall document once we get
consensus. In the meantime however, please disregard the unsynchronized references
to tables.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I would very
much appreciate an extensive review of the operations, operation request and
response arguments and operation definitions by the working group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
