Ira,
You must have a totally different set of documents than I have!
In my copy of wd-wimscount10-20050322.pdf (March 23,2005) I find
on page 20:
MediaUsed.BlackSheets
"The total number of pieces of this specific media that
have been used and which only black colorant is placed
on either side of the media."
Then on wd-wimscountmib10-20050319.htm, page 37, I read:
icMediaUsedBlackSheets
"Black sheets of this specific media printed by this
managed service (e.g., 'icServiceType' of 'print') or
managed subunit (e.g., 'icSubunitType' of 'marker')."
"Black sheets" implies that the sheets are colored black, not
printed using "black colorant", as in MediaUsed.BlackSheets.
The worst is on page 32 (I don't see an equivalent in the
counters spec)
icSheetBlackSheets
"Black media sheets printed by this managed service
(e.g., 'icServiceType' of 'print') or managed subunit
(e.g., 'icSubunitType' of 'marker')."
Ira, if you feel the text currently in the MIB is not ambiguous
and will never be misinterpreted, then don't change. My personal
opinion is that it can be improved, but that is only a suggestion.

Hi Ron and Bill,
Three points:
(1) The Counter MIB defines _only_ a mapping of abstract counters
whose semantics are normatively defined in the Counter Spec.
(2) The entire section 1.2 'Imaging Terminology' in the Counter MIB
should be _deleted_ and replaced with a single sentence that
states the names of terms imported normatively from the Counter
Spec.
(3) All issues on definitions must be resolved in the Counter Spec.
The Counter Spec _does_ define 'black impressions', etc., in section
4.2.1 'Job Counters Table'. Those definitions are exactly aligned
with the definitions in the Job MIB (RFC 2707) and IPP/1.1 (RFC 2911)
which are already part of the PWG Semantic Model/1.0 and are NOT
subject to change in their meaning (though examples are permissible
in the Counter Spec).
We've already debated (at previous PWG face-to-face meetings) and
WIMS teleconferences whether definitions can be changed. And agreed
that they MUST NOT be changed to conflict with the deployed Job MIB
and IPP job progress extensions.
Cheers,
- Ira
