Rick,
To further amplify Scott's reply:
The reason why the client MUST always send the attributes-natural-language
and attributes-charset, even though the client is NOT submittig any
'text' and 'name' attributes, is that the Printer object may be returning
a 'text' and/or a 'name' attribute in the response, such as job-state-message
or may be returning a Error Message, in case the request is rejected.
So the Printer object needs to know what language and charset to use
in the response.
Also (in the future) when we get notification, it will be important for
the notification to know what language and charset to use for the
notification, so that the values passed in by the client MUST be stored
with the job. Storing the values also helps when other clients
(who may be in different locales) query the job.
