IPP> "-actual" containment issue

Peter,

Some thoughts:
1) In IPP, I was thinking it would be best if the "-actual" attributes are
simply "normal" Job Description attributes.  Then they can be queried in
the same way, and follow the same conventions, as any other Job Description
attributes.
In the Semantic Model, you are proposing that they should instead be a new
group: that seems to make sense in the Semantic Model.  However, I think I
would have preferred, at least initially, that the JobProcessingActual
elements *act* the same as the JobDescription elements, and the
DocumentProcessingActual elements act the same as the DocumentDescription
elements.  In that case, JobProcessingActual would go under Job and
DocumentProcessingActual would go under Document.

2) If we *did* go with your idea, what is the advantage to putting
"JobProcessingActual" and "DocumentProcessingActual" under a
"ProcessingActual" entry, rather than just putting them directly under Job?

Dennis,

Attached is a diagram showing how the "-actual" objects could be
structured.
It puts the "ProcessingActual" elements in the Job.  The "ProcessingActual"
contains "JobProcessingActual" and a multivalued
"DocumentProcessingActual".
"ProcessingActual" identifies its Printer and Job.  Since there can be
multiple Documents, the "DocumentProcessingActual" identifies its
associated
Document.

Since the Job is the active entity is it appropriate to carry the Job
"Receipt"(i.e. "-actual") information there?

Dennis,
I believe that new groups should be created for "-actual" just as there are
groups for "supported" and "default".  The "DocumentProcessingActual" group
should exist in both the Job and Document.  The "JobProcessingActual"
should
exist only in the Job.  This would parallel the processing elements nicely.
