Feedback on meeting notes:
1. Just to be clear, the consensus was to remove the
document-format requirements entirely?
2. WRT XPS, it is patent-encumbered and not covered by any
existing ISO, IETF, PWG, or W3C standards. It may make a
fine high-level PDL, but IMHO it isn't a good fit for a
required document-format.
3. WRT BMLinkS, this is the first I have heard of it. The
web site indicates modest adoption by Japanese vendors,
and as best as I can tell from the documentation
everything is passed as TIFF files, which are a nightmare
to support thanks to the thousands of possible varients
you'll run into...
4. CUPS doesn't define required formats, but it does implement
a lot of them. I'm more than happy to write up a spec
for this, though...
