Terminology

The terminology used in this CR should conform to the "Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards", 5th Edition, 2005 available at:

http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/2122/3146825/4229629/4230450/4230456/ISO_IEC_Directives__Part_2__Rules_for_the_structure_and_drafting_of_International_Standards__2004__5th_edition___pdf_format_.pdf?nodeid=4230517&vernum=0

Particular attention shall be paid to Annex H which lays out guidelines for the expression of provisions.

Background/Rationale (Explanation of the background and reason(s) for the requested change, and supporting documentation):

As part of the PWG/DMTF Work Register, PWG is updating the printing-related classes in the CIM data model.  The PWG models for printing related devices and services include many properties that need to be managed but are not currently represented in CIM at all.  The CIM model is being extended to include these important management objects.  This requires extensions to the CIM_Printer class and the addition of other CIM classes to represent the capabilities, settings, and counters required.  

The current class, CIM_PrintInputTray, represents the media-containing input component of a printer.  This was the second class of all the new classes to be approved by Core.  So,
- the terminology in descriptions is old and needs to be updated;
- some properties and descriptions need to be adjusted due to changes in the modeling, particularly the class hierarchy and status properties;

In some cases because of the large number of changes to the MOF, to help minimize editing errors, I have replaced large blocks of text, even entire properties.  Descriptions of the changes, both editorial and substantive, are listed below. 

Several Description clauses have been enhanced, for instance, to explain the meaning of enumerated values or to improve terminology.  No semantic change is intended in any case.  
- The class itself
- IsDefault
- AvailabilityStatus

The class derives from a different parent class in this version.  Several properties are being removed from this class because they were promoted to the parent class from which this class now inherits. 
- InstanceID
- SNMPRowId

A ModelCorrespondence is being added to correct an earlier oversight. 
- LocalizedDescription

We (PWG) are reasonably certain that there are no current implementations of this experimental class yet (at least not within our membership), so we do not feel that the changes will be burdensome.

"the business entity that is creating or defining the "
"InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the "
"business entity by a recognized global authority. (This "
"requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> "

"uniqueness, <OrgID> shall not contain a colon (:). When "
