Hello,

pwg ftp site.

> Hi,
> 
> Yes, the OPVP spec should be updated for these observations.  
> 
> The section on page 17 of 'pdapi-spec-1.0RC20060711.pdf' named
> 'Attribute of Job, Document and Page for Job Control Operations'
> currently contains the following text on lines 16 to 20:
> 
>   For <scheme>, "updf" can be designated.
> 
>   If scheme is updf, the format follows the definition by UPDF 
>   (Universal Printer Driver Description File) by Printer Working
>   Group.
> 
>   It if preferable that the driver ignores unknown property, for 
>   future extensions.
> 
> All of the above text should be deleted and replaced by the
> following:
> 
>   Conforming implementations of this PDAPI specification MUST support
>   the "updf" value for <scheme> as defined in IEEE-ISTO PWG 5101.4
>   "Universal Printer Definition Format" (May 2004) developed by the
>   Printer Working Group.
> 
>   Conforming implementations of this PDAPI specification MUST ignore
>   unknown properties, for compatibility with future vendor or standard
>   extensions.

> Thanks,
