[Printing-architecture] Optimizing MicroJobTicket - JTAPI 'native' symbols

Hi,

Right after I suggested we just use MJT for any needed interprocess
serialization of a parsed job ticket in the JTAPI Library, I thought

"Hey, the current MJT uses IPP standard property names and values
and a PWG namespace - duh!"

I suggest that I revise the PWG MJT working draft to be an OP MJT
working draft (which I need to do anyway).

I should define a second standard JTAPI namespace for MJT, that uses
JTAPI standard property names and values - this would let the external
job ticket match exactly the OP canonical names from JTAPI - a very
long-standing coherence goal that Glen has championed and I support.

However, for use with CUPS and/or PAPI integration, support for the PWG
IPP names in MJT is also important.  Hmm...

Comments, Glen and Lars?

Cheers,
- Ira
