    Gail and Rick,

    Here are some minor comments on the Draft 12:

    1. The new paragraph added to section 6 is good to have:

    "A Sender MUST NOT use any OPTIONAL feature in PDFax unless it first queries
    the Receiver to confirm that the Receiver supports the feature. If the
    feature is not supported in the Receiver then the Sender MUST NOT use the
    OPTIONAL feature. A Sender MUST NOT use any feature that is prohibited in
    PDFax [ifx-pdfax] specification."

    1a. However, it would be better to put it in the Conformance Section 15 or
    somewhere else. The conformance section 15 needs to make reference to it.

    1b. Section 1.1, point number 1 isn't as strong as your new paragraph:

    "1. Get-Printer-Attributes - Sender MUST verify that the Printer object is
    an (IPPFAX) Receiver and SHOULD determine some of the Receiver's basic
    capabilities, such as PDFax profiles supported."

    This paragraph only says SHOULD, but paragraph 2:

    "2. Validate-Job - Sender MUST verify that the Receiver can support the Job
    attributes that the Sender will send in the IPPFAX Job."

    requires that the Sender do a Validate-Job in order to ensure that
    unsupported attributes are not being submitted.

    2. The keywords in the new table 5 and 6 need to be made all lower case and
    use hyphens between words to follow IPP keyword rules.

    I'll try calling in during the 1-3 PM CST time as well.

    Thanks for setting up the call-in.

    Tom
