    Ira,

    Sorry for sending these comments so late, but I was unable
    to read the document prior to the Tokyo meeting.

    I believe that we have now gone to far in creating new
    objects for use in the traps. Is there a reason why we
    cannot use...

        jmJobState instead of jmEventJobState
        jmJobKOctetsProcessed instead of
                    jmEventJobKOctetsProcessed
        jmJobImpressionsCompleted instead of
                    jmEventJobImpressionsCompleted

    Use of these three existing objects also allows the
    Job Index and Job Set Index to be derived from the OIDs
    and they do not have to be separate varbind entries.
    This provides some addition space for other entries.

    You probably heard that there was an extreme lack of
    support for this method in the Tokyo meeting. As I
    look at the complexity of this approach vs the traps
    that I have currently implemented, I am begining to
    also wonder why all this is needed. In trying to do a
    complete match to the IPP Notifications specification
    we have created a very complex trap definition. Is
    all this really needed or are we trying to include
    everything just in case?

    I am still willing to provide some support for this
    method but I am not likely to implement this unless
    there is wide support by management applications.
