[IPP] Preparing to post JPS2v2 First Draft, but want to poke at current JPS2 one more time

Hi Guerney,

My two cents.

I'm sure Mike can respond more articulately.

But the literal reading of 'print-save' and 'save-only' is *just* some form
of the *processed* raw Document data (definitely NOT the Document
object w/ metadata).  That's unacceptable and useless IMO.

Although the IPP F2F minutes record that you think that "output-device"
of NULL is a hack, it seems sound and reasonable to me.

And I still like "put a stake in the heart of job-save-disposition".  I
think
JPS2 has serious issues of ambiguity.

Cheers,
- Ira
