Strange that we have held ourselves hostage to this odd use of the term for
so long without anyone checking on it. I think the use of 'coloring' needed
to be explained at least once to anyone coming across it in this context.
But then, the meaning of 'filtering' would need to be explained too.
Actually, coloring would not be a bad term if it were not being applied to
printers, which all quite literally do coloring. Take this as a vote for
filtering.

Hi Mike,
I agree with replacing "coloring" with the standard "filtering" term.
I found coloring in a lot of minutes, but also couldn't find it in the
IETF or early PWG IPP specs.
Cheers,

All,
I have gotten more feedback on the continued use of the term "Coloring" in
IPP specifications, and the reference back to 2911 as the reason for
continuing its confusing existence.
Thus far I have gone along with this reference - I remember us using the
term when IPP/1.0 and 1.1 were being hammered out so naturally we must have
used it in the spec, right? But when one of my colleagues actually went
looking for the term being used in 2911 she couldn't find it. And then I
went digging...
So, as far as I can tell, we have *never* used the term "coloring" in an
IETF RFC for IPP. I also could not find the term used in ISO DPA. The only
place we have used it is in IPP JPS3 (now published) and IPP Everywhere
(pending posting for Formal Vote).
I also did a search of the mailing list archives and found several uses of
the term, but I don't see it in any of the drafts (other than JPS3 and
Everywhere)
So, can anyone point me to the origins of the term? Given the number of
complaints about this in the past (even for JPS3), the obscure usage, and
the apparent lack of precedent, I would prefer to use "filtering" (as
requested on several occasions) instead of "coloring" in IPP Everywhere.
Thoughts?
