        Conclusions:

        (1) We really should DEPRECATE Restart-Job
            in IPP/2.x Profiles and explain the rationale.

    Given that there is no other way to retry a failed print job,
    I would be against complete deprecation but OK with
    clarification or partial deprecation (i.e. OK to restart a
    canceled, stopped, or aborted job, not OK to restart a
    completed job...)

    <ira> Good point - I like keeping this operation ONLY
    for use on unsuccessful jobs - but I think still OPTIONAL
    in 2.1 (Enterprise), because of your stored resources
    reasoning (below).

        (2) Reprocess-Job is technically OK, but costly.
            Should remain OPTIONAL, even for IPP/2.2
            (Production Printing).

    I would argue that production printing already requires large
    resources to support things like document objects and the tight
    integration with the print device, so Reprocess-Job should be
    REQUIRED for IPP/2.2 and OPTIONAL for IPP/2.0 and IPP/2.1.

    <ira> I agree. </ira>

    Cheers,
    - Ira
