I completely agree with Roger. I just don't see the added value
here...but I certainly see the additional complexity and resulting
confusion.
There is nothing wrong (semantically) with "best-effort". Let's
leave it alone, but make the obvious clarifications in the Model
document with regard to Job templates, etc.

Now let me see, if I understand .... we don't like the concept of
best-effort as an attribute, so we rename it, make it a parameter, then
add an optional job attribute with the same name, and then have the
parameter set the attribute, except sometimes the attribute (or is it
the parameter) is mandatory. Did I get it right??????
Excuse me, but I think we just added a ton of confusion and didn't change
things one bit!
